Flythrough of the universe of our solar system and our
universe. fly out of the galaxy in a cinematic fashion and
run through to the beginning of the universe, and play it
forward of a massive explosion in space. fly through it to
black quickly.
HOST
The universe... a vast expanse of
vaccum and dust... But was it
always like this? a mysterious
expanse of the heavens? An
impossible paradox.. Could the
puzzle ever be solved? What is the
universe, where is the universe?
Could a star that collapsed
billions of years ago, have caused
the proper circumstances to create
what we are today?
HOST
Join me on my journey as we ask the
questions least answered... and can
the evidence we already have lead
us to a plausible conclusion? Are
we ready for the answers that lie
ahead?

Welcome to Artemis Television
Studios, vancouver washington.
Tonight we are going to begin our
journey into the depths of what we
believe and what we really know
about the universe we live in, and
answering said questions, could
have profound effects on the near
future of our species as a whole
and lead a bust of advancement in
our technilogically based world.

HOST (cont’d)
around 20 years ago, I looked up at
the stars, just as any young boy
would do. Mezmerized of the beauty
and the sheer size of it all. I
immediately knew I wanted to go
there. For years, growing up. I
dreamnt of going to the stars. I
could not get it out of my head..
Studying it intently, I came up
with my own theories...

HOST (cont’d)
I opened the window in my hotel
room and stared up at the night
sky. Suddenly, I noticed a star,
not so bright but noticably
changing colors. I watched it for
several minutes, then suddenly, it
was no longer there and a glimpse
of a ring surrounding it, then
dissapearing into nothing(dramatic)

HOST (cont’d)
I described what I saw to someone,
and was told "It was a dying star"
at that moment, I suddenly
realized. Like myself, the universe
was also, alive(dramatic)...

HOST (cont’d)
If it died, then it must have also
been born. When did it begin, and

HOST (cont’d)
These brand new computer
simulations, can show us things we
never even could have imagined
possible. Right from our Research
and Development division, a
research grade computer system was
constructed to learn more about how
our universe actually works. And
the discoveries were mind
blowing(dramatic)

HOST (cont’d)
...if we are certain this universe
is so vast, where, if any, could
life on other terrestrial worlds
be? Are we alone in the universe?
HOST (cont’d)
...to answer some of these
questions, we have to observe
imperical evidence of what we have
already seen. Could the clues be in
the evidence? Could we piece it
together? In order to begin our
journey, we have to go back to the
beginning. How did our solar system
become capable of supporting a life
sustaining planet, such as earth.

HOST (cont’d)
...13.4 billion years ago... a
galaxy was born, from the dense
regions of our early universe....

HOST
...over the course of several
billion years, our galaxy, the
milky way, grew into what it is
today, typically by merging, or
crashing into other, smaller
galaxies...

HOST (cont’d)
as time goes by, the merging of the
two bodies goes through a cooldown
period, of where gravitational
forces begin to regulate, setting
in motoin new orbits and a massive
amount of colliding material,
generating new stars, and planets
within. A beautiful phenomenon,
with such a dark past...

HOST (cont’d)
But what about the dark regions of
the universe, the places we cannot
see, or hope to ever go...

phenomenon that is now, only very
recently being mapped in a
technically complicated way at the
LIGO Laboratories at
Massachussettes Institute of
Technology.

But what are these mysterious
masses of theoretical science, and
what role do they play in the grand
scheme OF how our universe came to
be.(up/drama)

don’t even exist.
HOST (cont’d)
but theres a problem with that, the
math says that they do exist, so
how can both be wrong. or are
they?(dramatic) maybe they both
could be right...

HOST
But to better explain, we must
explore the theoretical mathematics
of quantum mechanics.(dramatic)
breel:show cat in box

HOST
most are familiar with the
experiment of the cat in the box, a
deadly poison is left exposed and,
if the cat touches it, the cat will
likely perish. On one half of the
paradox, the cat is alive and well,
on the other side, it was killed by
the poison. Now this is when things
get weird...(dramatic)

very small particles. Particles
that make up everything in our
universe, the stuff that atoms are
made of. But at this level, things
can get a little hairy...(dramatic)

HOST (cont’d)
so how does this tie into where our
journey left off? Well, recently we
have been able to measure a
phenomenon in space that we are not
totally convinced are black holes,
but according to a handful of
scientists, it makes sense that
they are...(dramatic)

these detectable pockets of xray
radiation are believed to be the

the known universe have for us and
our understanding of the way we see
things around us.(dramatic)

hole.
HOST
So, utilizing theoretical science,
we can take what we believe to
understand about black holes, and
imagine what lies beneath the
crushing darkness...

HOST
...and compare our understanding
with how we think the universe
works, and the correlations between
the two...(dramatic hit)
break; show scientist comparing black hole science with
universe science.
HOST (cont’d)
in order to bring to light more
evidence that could help us answer
these questions, we have to go to
the forefront of theoretical
evidence...

HOST
A star burning bright for hundreds
of thousands of years, suddenly
collapses in a matter of seconds.
Compressing its mass, and energy
into astronomically small sizes,
smaller than atoms. It keeps
crushing it further and further
down, as the core falls down into
the depths of the side effect of
massive and powerful gravity
pushing and pulling on the core,
breathing almost, and radiation,
lots of it. Particularly, XRAY
radiation, a by-product of its
development. It collapses into the

center of the event horizon until
it cannot be crushed anymore. A
reaction occurs deep inside the
phenomenon, and explodes in a
catacysmic event, the big
bang?(dramatic)
break
HOST
But wait! If even some scientists,
say this is plausable, and even
makes sense. Then why isn’t it
considered common belief, we do
live in much more progressive
times...

HOST (cont’d)
...they say there may not be enough
imperical evidence to support this
claim, no matter how much sense it
might make...

break
HOST (cont’d)
...but are they just looking in the
wrong spot, or does the evidence we
already have discovered, mean
something...
break

HOST (cont’d)
...if we take a step back, and work
outside of the box, then maybe we
can discover all new evidence, or
discover a different interpretation
of what we already know...

break
HOST
...will we have to change the very
way we think? maybe(long dramatic)

HOST

At the center of the galaxy, we
have observed a phenomenon that

HOST (cont’d)
could be our physical proof we
need...

break
HOST
...lets go to the center of our
galaxy.. At the center, there is a
massive star that is having its
matter ripped off of its very
surface, spiraling into a dark
mass. One that we cannot see, but
maybe measure the rate of decay of
the star, and get a better idea of
what might be going on...
break
HOST (cont’d)
...black holes have a unique
property to them that IS widely
believed across all scientific
bodies conducting research on this
subject matter.. as it consumes
matter, it emits thermal energy.
Over the course of the life of the
black hole, once it has gobbled up
all of the matter outside its
center, and there is no more matter
to eat. The dark mass begins to
fade, and over time, completely
fade out of existence
alltogether...(dramatic)
break
HOST (cont’d)
(serious)
But if we do live in a black hole,
what would happen to us, if our
home dies.. in its entirety...
break;show interview of scientist talking about the end of
the universe.
HOST (cont’d)
...once our earth, sun, solar
system, even our own galaxy and
universe, come to an end. Matter
itself, has ceased to exist in the
empty void of where we used to call
home. Billions upon billions of
years from now...
 10.

break
HOST (cont’d)
(informative)
What if we can hypothesize, that
during the course of our black hole
no longer able to consume matter,
our own universe, as we can observe
and study it, begins to decay...
but havn’t we already seen evidence
of that, and in fact DO believe,
our universe will end...(dramatic)
break
HOST (cont’d)
(dramatic)
As the thermal radiation begins to
subside, we can hypothetically
observe the end of time as we know
it...
break

HOST (cont’d)
(informative)
...but if we are to be doomed, and
eventually even the universe, to
die. What happens to some of the
concepts we have learned to know
and love? What is it’s purpose? Is
there a rhime to reason? There may
be...(dramatic)

HOST (cont’d)

...there may even be proof that
death, is in fact, not the end...

break
HOST (cont’d)
(informative)
...but in order to understand the
paradoxyl nature of our existence,
we may find some evidence in
ourselves.. of our true nature, and
purpose...
break
 11.

HOST (cont’d)
(informative)
In quantum mechanics, say an
object, like a planet, falls into
the difinitive grasp of our dark
friend, it’s "information", like
it’s size, shape, elemental makeup,
everything about it and what it is,
is transcended into the database of
the blackhole...

break
HOST (cont’d)
(dramatic)
...but what does this mean to us,
for us and how does it link us
together? When a person dies, it is
widely believed that the energy, or
"information" is imprinted into the
heavens, somewhere or some way in a
alternate state of existence. But,
if this is true, what is done with
this energy? As scientists agree,
energy cannot be created nor
destroyed. So, it must have to go
somewhere, right?

break
HOST (cont’d)
(informative)
Combining with what we have
discovered thusfar, and linking
another piece of the puzzle,
however so small and seemingly
unimportant in the link, however
over centuries, individuals have
reported experiencing phenomenon
that they themselves, cannot
explain...(dramatic)
break
HOST (cont’d)
When a person dies, and their
information, their experiences,
their consciousness, is imprinted
into the vast expanse of the
universe. What happens to this
information once it becomes one
with the largest database ever
created...
 12.

break
HOST (cont’d)
...could it be restored into a new
lifeform, more specifically, the
same lifeform the energy was
imprinted into before, with its
information retained, like species,
sex, even genetic code, as it has
been found, our experiences while
living, dictate our genetic makeup
through a process theorized as
evolution, and even memories
themselves being stored, and
reportedly being called upon at
random times, or for more specific
purposes and intervals perhaps?.
Some claim to vividly remember the
memories of past times, past lives.
Where could those memories be
stored, is the universe retaining
this information for a specific,
and intended purpose? If it were
imprinted, then can it be somehow
recovered?(dramatic)
break
HOST (cont’d)
From the moment of birth, a clean
slate is formed. But is it such a
clean slate? What about the genetic
code, and could our genetics, our
very makeup of who we are as a
species, house information from
previous experiences, from previous
lives? If information is stored in
the greatest created database of
all time, could it be recovered by
the creation of new life? If so,
then do we really die? Or are we
recycled? Could we be consciously
aware of our experiences of being
transcended and downloaded into the
universe?

accepted and "universal" belief

would orbit around the newly born
star, like the rings on Saturn. The
building blocks to our planets...

break
HOST (cont’d)

As the nuclear process began to
jumpstart our star into massive
growth, a solar "wind" carried all
of the material outward into our
star system, keeping the material
that will become earth and other
planets eventually, safe from
falling into the star’s void...

HOST (cont’d)
But could they have finally come
across a plausible answer?
Perhaps...
break

HOST (cont’d)
(informative)
They were able to conclude, that
very likely, the position and orbit
of Neptune,Uranus, and Saturn,
perhaps all of our planets, mightve
been influenced by the
gravitational forces of a missing
planet, passing through. Almost
like a key to "lock" the positions
of our planets into where we
observe them now. Could we conclude
that this "mysterious" mass,
couldve influenced the position of
the rest of the planets? Well, that
is what scientists are trying to
figure out today, and maybe couldve
finally come across the answer to a
centuries old mystery...

HOST (cont’d)
Modern technology has allowed us to
better observe our galaxy and the
evidence we have found, is
profoundly amazing in the fact that
the universe, seems to have a
self-regulating method of ensuring
the correct "parameters" are met
and set into motion. Could this
have occurred in other planetary
systems as well? Or are we unique.

seemingly implausible, that other
