Re: The most astounding fact
I first saw this video when I was in college. I felt overwhelmed by finals and thought I wasn't smart enough to pass with flying colours. It changed the way I see the world and the way I see myself.

Re: The most astounding fact
Hi, [mention]Explorer[/mention], thank you for this interesting video!
The universe is in us ... That is literally the most beautiful piece of knowledge we can know at this time.
I really like looking at the sky at night and observing the stars. I know I'm part of one of them.
It's true that "I am part of the universe" ... and more importantly ... "The universe is within me"!
(in Polish)
To pobudza moją wyobraźnię i daje do myślenia! (▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)

Re: The most astounding fact
Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of the Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles). Our planet appears as a tiny dot among bands of sunlight.
Carl Sagan wrote:From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there... on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Re: The most astounding fact
Every known language emerged, flourished, and will eventually perish on that tiny blue speck suspended in the vastness of space. Every word of hate, and every word of love... Everything that has ever been said, and everything that is yet to be said.
