I am not a very emotional person (I just like writing poems because it is hard and challenging), in fact, I remember that the first time my (now ex) girlfriend cried in the cinema and a tear landed on my arm, I thought there was a leak on the theatre. It was until the end of the film that I realised she was the one crying (I believe the film was I am Sam). Anyway, the closes I had been to crying as a response of a media performance was in Final Fantasy VII when... SPOILER ALERT!!!... Sephiroth kills Aeris. Man! That was harsh!
Well, that record has been broken. I didn't, but I felt I was very close to letting a tear leave my eye by watching Cosmos. I really think that the show is touching. He tells the story of how humans have manage to learn what we are, where we are, and basically everything we know. It made me imagine that we know so little about everything and yet is loads more than the knowledge we started with. We humans do are standing on the shoulder of giants, but even up here seeing further is not easy... the Universe is foggy.
I really recommend the show, I particularly like how they tell the story of Faraday and Maxwell, probably because those were the one I didn't know already. But I have nothing bad to say about the show. Seriously, just watch the show!
Finally, I just want to recommend my favourite book ever written by my favourite scientist ever: Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman. It is simply hilarious! Go to Amazon and buy it now! And talking about deGrasse Tyson, the last Epic Rap Battle of History was awesome. Check it out too!
