    This fellow is one of the finest poets I listened to. The way he recycles the motif of membrane, toughness, boundary/versus/interdependence was spendidly organized. Poet or story, this fellow is among the best artists, taking on the most profound topic. I was initially put off by what I imagined to me his arrogance--his Dutch(?) accent, and/or reserve, but his came to extraordinary life.

    It must have been a fascinating experience to see the presentation first-hand with all the high-resolution images.

    These photos could be put side by side with the greatest works of "religious art". Truly extraordinary. It should be the introduction to the teaching of evolution in schools. First make students amazied, than explain the hole process.

    I thought about it as I heard him speak. And it took me a moment, but the way he spoke really did reaffirm the entire theme of the presentation. It was his inquisitive manner of speaking that reminded me that we human beings are the ones doing this investigation of ourselves, the Earth, and the Cosmos. In other words, the way he spoke reaffirmed who we are. (aka, who *i* am)

    Stunning photography At around 3:55 in, comes the statement, "When that energy touches water, something new emerges. Life". Very poetical... and I understand the need for a transition from matter to life in your story, yet that statement is almost given as a simplified explanation for the origin of life. But we know the question is much more complex and remains unanswered. Thank you for sharing your talent and art. G

    I like his voice, it's very calming

    Absolutely. What's he like at breakfast? "I would like some toast?" "Can I have a boiled egg?". or in the boudouir: "Yes...yes...right there?", "oh baby you've got what it takes?"

    This is the only TED talk I've had to stop in the middle to check comments and wonder if anyone else is hearing what I am hearing...worse than scratching nails on a chalkboard. PLEASE STOP TALKING and give your speech to someone else!!!

    Being Dutch, I cannot stand a Dutch accent!
    Great imagery though, Frans is one of the best.

    Stromaolites are old? Before the sky turned blue? I make statements that sound like questions?

    A música é mais importante do que bonita,chega a dar agonia ouvi-la.Não é música para se ouvir novamente - pelo menos para mim - apenas assim,,junto da discursividade evocada pela fotografia.Curto a música do Philip Glass,mas o monumentalismo que ela apresenta sempre me leva achar que é para estar junto de-
    (nesse caso ainda nem sei como se deu a composição desse vídeo.)

    lovely film, pity about the one liners after one liners after.... could have been more lyrical. maybe it was that trip he took to the land down under with their upward inflexions at the end of every sentence...

    I have the same problem. And his intonation is weird. }|:op
    I've heard far worse Dutch accents, though. And it's a very nice slide show.

    Yes! Great video, but that is one of the most annoying habits a person can have. It sounds either like he is asking a series of badly-phrased questions, or he's on the verge of singing.

    i AM DUTCH, and I have never heard anyone from Holland speak this way. It is done on purpose, no doubt. The way this matter is spoken of is dulled down, frequencies corrupted, no doubt with vicious intent. Don't believe the Hype. See who paid for this. I am a Glass fanatic, but yet, no fluffy bunnies from here here. This is malicious.
