FOX - Cosmos A Spacetime Odyssey (2014) Part 11 The Immortals

More than three decades after the debut of Carl Sagan's ground-breaking and iconic series, “Cosmos: A Personal Voyage,” it's time once again to set sail for the stars.

Part 11: The Immortals

This episode covers how life may have developed on Earth and the possibility of life on other planets. Tyson begins by explaining how the human development of writing systems enabled the transfer of information through generations, describing how Princess Enheduanna ca. 2280 BCE would be one of the first to sign her name to her works, and how Gilgamesh collected stories, including that of Utnapishtim documenting a great flood comparable to the story of Noah's Ark.

The Ship of the Imagination travels across the cosmos to discover the possibility of beings that live forever and explain why other civilizations perish. Then, visit the Cosmic Calendar of the Future and contemplate what lies ahead with a hopeful vision.
