What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?
“…We are part of this universe. We are in this universe. But perhaps more important than both of those facts, is that the universe is in us…Many people feel small, because they’re small and the universe is big, but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars. There’s a level of connectivity. That’s really want you want in life, you want to feel connected. You want to feel relevant. You want to feel like you’re a participant in the goings-on of the activities and events around you. And that’s precisely what we are, just by being alive.” - Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson
In science it often happens that scientists say, ‘You know that’s a really good argument; my position is mistaken,’ and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn’t happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
