Now, a real honest-to-goodness remake of Cosmos could have been truly wonderful, given all new and exciting things that cosmologists have discovered since the 1980s: dark matter, dark energy, the UDF, the Big Rip, the oceans of Europa, Fermi's Paradox (where are the aliens?), virtual particles, the mystery of the 10 perfect physical constants (why are they all exactly right?), the four forces (why is gravity so weird?). It could have been a celebration of the simple majesty, the sheer elegance, the pure aesthetics, and the grand intelligence behind the design of the universe.
Yup, everything you mentioned and more. (Though the universe is so big for Fermi’s ‘where’ to be a slam dunk yet).
