When Voyager was sent out I'm afraid drug use clouded thinking and we sent out things like "whale songs" and other irrelevant, but popular things of the (then) current culture. <le sigh> BUT! Maybe any advanced culture listening to this record will be sufficiently unimpressed by our lack of intelligence and choose to ignore us and decide not to annihilate us.

My favourite episode of Cosmos: A Space-time Odyssey is "The Immortals". The overall theme of this episode is the search for knowledge and the impact of science on human civilization.
What makes "The Immortals" stand out is its focus on the individuals who have made significant contributions to science and how their legacy lives on through their discoveries and teachings.
"The Immortals" ties into the overall message of Cosmos: A Space-time Odyssey by highlighting the importance of scientific progress and the pursuit of knowledge to better understand our place in the universe.
"The Immortals" relates to current scientific advancements by showcasing the historical context of these advancements and how they have shaped our understanding of the world today.
One scene that stands out to me is when Neil deGrasse Tyson talks about how we are all made of stardust and how our atoms have been recycled throughout the universe. It beautifully illustrates the interconnectedness of all things in the cosmos.
