LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY FIRST GUEST IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE

HAYDEN PLANETARIUM AT THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL

HISTORY, THE HOST OF "COSMOS," AND HE'S MY FAVORITE

BUT FIRST -- >> Stephen: NICE TO HAVE YOU

>> FESS UP-- HOW MANY ASTROPHYSICISTS DO YOU KNOW IF

>> Stephen: I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ANY OTHERS, NEAL.

I DON'T REMEMBER THE ASTROPHYSICISTS BEFORE I MET

NEAL-- SPOILER ALERT-- YOU'RE A SCIENTIST.

>> Stephen: AND LEGALLY I AM REQUIRED TO ASK YOU YOUR

>> Stephen: AND I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE NOT A VIROLOGIST, YOU'RE

NOT AN IMMUNOLOGIST, YOU'RE NOT AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST, BUT I

>> Stephen: BUT I SUSPECT YOU HAVE AN OPINION?

I'M BROADLY SCIENTIFICALLY LITERATE, BUT WHAT I WAS SAYING

OF THIS VIRUS, I THINK WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A MASSIVE

AND THAT IS -- >> Stephen: WE'RE THE GUINEA

THE EXPERIMENT IS WILL PEOPLE LISTEN TO SCIENTISTS?

IN THIS CASE, REFERRING TO MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS--

THESE ARE WARNINGS OFFERED BY SCIENTIST S.

IT SEEMS TO ME IF WE ALL LISTENED AND ALL PAID

WE SAW THE HOLE-- THE GAPING HOLE LEFT OVER BY IT.

>> Stephen: SO THERE'S-- THERE'S A VOID, OR SOMETHING.

>> 14 MILLION LIGHT-YEARS AWAY IS A CLUSTER OF GALAXIES, AND

THE MEDIUM IN WHICH THESE GALAXIES MOVE, THERE'S A VERY

IT'S GLOWING SO HOT, YOU SEE IT ON EXPRAIZ.

THEY OBSERVE THIS GAS IN A GALAXY CLUSTER AND IT WAS A

GAPING HOLE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE MONSTER GALAXY IN THE

AND WE REALIZED SOME TIME IN THE PAST THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION FROM

THE BLACK HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THAT GALAXY AND BLEW OUT A HOLE

I UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ON SUPER-GALACTIC

IT'S LIKE, "HOW MUCH MONEY DID MIKE BLOOMBERG WASTE?"

IT'S TOO BIG A NUMBER FOR US TO UNDERSTAND.

>> MANY, MANY DIAMETERS OF OUR ENTIRE GALAXY ACROSS THE HOLE

AND IF NOTHING ELSE WAS EVER THAT BIG, THEN YOUR ADJECTIVES

>> OKAY, FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAD HORSES, RIGHT?

>> HORSE AND BUGGY GLI UNDERSTAND WHAT A HORSE IS.
