I never said it. honest. oh, i said there are maybe 100 billion galaxies and 10 billion trillion stars. it's hard to talk about the cosmos without using big numbers. i said "billion" many times on the cosmos television series, which was seen by a great many people. but i never said "billions and billions." for one thing, it's too imprecise. how many billions are "billions and billions"? a few billion? twenty billion? a hundred billion? "billions and billions" is pretty vague. when we reconfigured and updated the series, i checked-and sure enough, i never said it.
Stars Numbers People
Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

In your eyes the light the heat in your eyes i am complete in your eyes i see the doorway to a thousand churches in your eyes the resolution of all the fruitless searches in your eyes i see the light and the heat in your eyes oh, i want to be that complete i want to touch the light, the heat i see in your eyes

You know; when i look at the night sky and i see this enormous splendor of stars and galaxies, i sometimes ask the question, well how many worlds are we talking about? well do the math, there are about 100 billion galaxies that are in the visible universe and each galaxy in turn contains about 100 billion stars, you multiply and you get about ten billion trillion stars. well i think it is the height of arrogance to believe that we are alone in the universe, my attitude is that the universe is teaming, teaming with different kinds of life forms
Stars Attitude Believe
The near side of a galaxy is tens of thousands of light-years closer to us than the far side; thus we see the front as it was tens of thousands of years before the back. but typical events in galactic dynamics occupy tens of millions of years, so the error in thinking of an image of a galaxy as frozen in one moment of time is small.
Thinking Errors Light
We've got the emphasis on the wrong syllable when it comes to crime in this country. the fbi says burglary and robbery cost u.s. taxpayers $3.8 billion annually. securities fraud alone costs four times that. and securities fraud is nothing to the cost of oil spills, price-fixing, and dangerous or defective products. fraud by health-care corporations alone costs us between $100 billion and $400 billion a year. no three-strikes-and-you're-out for these guys. remember the s&l scandal? $500 billion.

In a country that never wins anything: in canada, if one of our athletes so much as makes the final in a world championship, we declare a national holiday.
Country Athlete Holiday
I confidently trust that the american people will prove themselves ... too wise not to detect the false pride or the dangerous ambitions or the selfish schemes which so often hide themselves under that deceptive cry of mock patriotism: "our country, right or wrong!" they will not fail to recognize that our dignity, our free institutions and the peace and welfare of this and coming generations of americans will be secure only as we cling to the watchword of true patriotism: "our country - when right to be kept right; when wrong to be put right."

The future of the democratic party, the future of this country is involving young people in the political process, getting them to stand up for their rights, dealing with student debt, which i got to tell you is just crushing people all over this country, making public colleges and universities tuition free, those are the ideas we are bringing out, demanding the wealthy and large corporations start paying their fair share of taxes. this is what younger people, working class people want. that is the future of the democratic party.
Crush Country Party
I have a lot of respect for president obama. i consider him a friend. i disagree with him on issues like the extension of tax breaks that bush initiated. but i think history will judge a president obama a lot better than many other contemporaries, given the fact that he came into office at a time when this country was in terrible, terrible shape.
