    The most important quote I've heard in 71 years: "We are the universe becoming aware of itself."

    • @نورالهدى-ض1ك9ج

      Since you are in 73 years old . I want to tell you How God created His earth . Take a ball . divide it vertically from the Middle. We will Have upper side and lower side of the ball . The upper side in white. Take it an throw it in Air . It will become scattered stars Magnetically connected to each other . 11 planets , Sun and moon they turn parallelly above the lower side the earth . So that's is in first heaven. There are on the top of it 6 heavens look like one layer of smoke and Gazes in Gold, Copper, Silver color . Now we go to the lower side Earth its huge and has on its side and under it only ICE . No universe, No space ..but satan' s worshippers want to make your brain lost in darkness . Always thinking about things doesn't exist . Your brain will go up and down ..just lost and confused because satan' s Throne is in water on earth .that's why they don't want you to know the truth... Rely to God ask Him guidance . You will know the truth.

      The religion of scientism, WOW, I thought science was just a body of knowledge/information produced by intelligent beings. Invention without an inventor, masterpiece without a master worker, design without a designer and everything from nothing. No wonder Dr. Steven Weinberg said "The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless." Now I understand why the atheist community has a problem with depression that leads to suicide.

      Woitek K - What do you think is wrong with what she’s saying? Hydrogen is a simple atom, it’s what the universe was entirely made up of- hydrogen became stars, stars make more complicated elements, the big ones explode, hit gas clouds and create even crazier stars with even more complicated elements- and all that needed to happen to get us. So what she is saying is that we are literally star dust. It’s beautiful when you think about how amazing it is, and how much bigger it is than you- and yet you and I are all apart of it.

    That was literally one of the most beautiful things I think I've ever heard another human being say. You're not alone Michelle, I wonder daily why we humans aren't all just spreading as much love to each other as possible because we are only here for an insanely short amount of time cosmically speaking. Every time I ever see Michelle Thaller talking about astronomy her passion, joy, and love of our universe and everything in it is always shining brighter than a supernovae. I wish everyone radiated Michelle's love and positive energy, the world would be Utopian then.

I simply adore you by how much talented you are in simplifying usually complicated things about science. I grew up loving science and the curiosity in me has never petered out. Having a conversation like this among friends is unfortunately usually avoided let alone have friends who share the same curiosity and passion about science.

I feel as you do, that humankind should be cherishing our brief existence here on our rock. That we should be united, together conquering all that ails Earth so we can then get on with creating marvelous things so we can learn more about the universe before our time is up...

The Cell endowed with capabilities of billon chemical operations per second, and then multicellular organism with trillion of cells highly coordinated interactions which ultimately became conscious, behold the power of the God Particle.

    I am an engineer, a student of science and maths, now 73 yrs old... but also an indian-hindu... not a practising orthodox hindu... at all...
    But I feel proud to be so... while I had no problem in simulating the entire speech of yours just by reading the amusing title, because have read science articles... my awe for my ancestors... rishis, munies... had been ratified...
    Like conceived by modern anthropic principle... rishis, the founders, shapers of Hinduism, per se, conversioned on the same thoughts... " I am the mindbogglingly infinitesimal bit of that universe "... atman a fractional bit of brahman...
    Every Hindu knows this concept...
    However, your way of putting forth the thought from modern science point of view is fascinating.
    In fact, like all modern scientists of any discipline, those rishis were precisely looking for ultimate truths, sans modern gadgets, computers etc... equipped only with huge thinking powers, comprehension and innate readiness to debate and accept revisions of ideas.
    Ms. Thalle, actually they used to sit together, often in the presence of a ruler or gathering of fraternity and debate and debate on reasoning.
    Almost, everything they concluded is virtually being reinvented by modern thinkers...
    I am proud to be an engineer, science lover... no doubt... but I have reasons to be non-appologetically very proud of what ancient rishis (sages... say like Pythagorus, Archimedes, Socrates.... or Einstein, Bournemouth or Rutherford...)
    No reasons to disbelieve... Rev. Einstein himself came out with theories just out of his thought experiments and supported by mathematics... right... and we are subsequently busy proving it again and again by observations... some even trying to disprove him!!
    That is exactly what is happening with ideas of ancient sages of hindu/sanatan dharma or indus civilisation... such as consciousness, 'subject of your own present topic', memories, dreams, psychosomatic interrelationships, power of concentration and mind, physical exercises, incarnation, telepathy, teletransportation, idea of discarding old body and occupying young one's, holography, virtual worlds, multiverses, eternal cycles of formation, death and reformation of cosmos, time travel etc... many ...
    THANKS.

    I love her passion and enthusiasm ,I watched Cosmos with Carl Sagan years ago and inspired me to learn more. Our search for intelligent life out there has come up empty. In a sense that has left a gaping hole in us and we have turned inward. The Hadron collider is where a lot of research is focus these days and unfortunately we are in danger of destroying our own place in this vast universe because there is no Planet B. We must and hopefully will find a way to solve our way out of this situation and when we do we will reach out for the Stars once again with passion and enthusiasm and wonder

    Although the talk is good because it tells a part of the history of our origins as human I think it is an incomplete view of what we are.
    We are not just atoms, in fact is inevitable because everything is made of atoms. The important thing about a human being and what distinguishes us from everything that has no life are not the atoms, are the information that they have been able to generate a living system first and therefore intelligence, emotions, etc. We are not dead stars or stardust, the stones are this. We are what the stars will never be or have, we are information of the molecular evolution converted into life, intelligence, will, in the ability to change our future ...

      @@SajayanKS So what, exactly, is this 'egoistic mind' of which you speak? How does the ego correspond to all of creation, so that it could have issued merely from inanimate matter? What is the nature of consciousness? Do you believe mankind has a soul? Why are we able to comprehend abstract thoughts, if we are only common with all inert matter? What about free will; is there such a thing? From whence does 'life' derive? Do you believe that it "just did"? Why, then, do we not ever see it erupt from nonliving matter? Shouldn't science be able to create life, if we are as you claim, 'undistinguished' from the rest? How does a cell know how to replicate itself? Where did the Universe, all of the stars, celestial bodies, and the elements come from? Seems to me that these phenomena do indicate that a conscious, thinking man is somehow separate from only inanimate, material substances, all of which are totally unable, as all living things are able, to reproduce themselves. And, if ego is something that creates an 'illusion', then wouldn't that infer the fact that the ego is, itself, something separate?
      There is a unity in all that exists, I do firmly believe that and concur with you. But, the conscious mind is above the merely inanimate; of that, I am certain.
