Like most students, from time to time my mind wanders. And like most (nerdy) people, sometimes I find myself thinking about where the molecules that make us up come from, and where the energy that we are created from and generate is initially derived. I have always been of the mind that everything, from humans to bacteria, is from a common atomic and energy pool and this has always served me as a wonderfully fulfilling form of spirituality. So when I came across these videos, I was simply overwhelmed by the shared sentiment. I could never explain this thought as eloquently as Neil deGrasse Tyson has done.
"The universe is in us." Such a simple sentence, but such a grand statement.
