Lyrics:

[Neil deGrasse Tyson]
We are part of this universe
We are in this universe
The universe is in us
Yes, the universe is in us

[Lawrence Krauss]
Every atom in your body
Came from a star that exploded
You are all star dust
From a star that exploded

[Tyson]
Look up at the night sky
We are part of that
The universe itself
Exists within us

We are star dust
In the highest exalted way
Called by the universe
Reaching out to the universe

We are star dust
In the highest exalted way
Reaching out to the universe
With these methods and tools of science

[Richard Feynman]
Stand in the middle and enjoy everything both ways
The tininess of us;
The enormity of the universe

[Tyson]
The atoms that make up the human body
Are traceable to the crucibles
That cooked light elements
Into heavy elements

These stars went unstable in their later years
And then exploded
Scattering their enriched guts
Across the galaxy

[Refrain]

[Tyson]
We are part of this universe
We are in this universe
The universe is in us
Yes, the universe is in us

When I feel bad about anything I like to come to this video. It makes me feel better every time. It makes me look at life in a different way.

It's very humbling to think that we are just the remains of a long-dead star left to collect, grow, and become conscious enough to ponder the dead star that gave us our existence.

[EntinludeX]

Well, usually scientists arn't also invoking celestial overlords or fairy god parents to mold the dust. That's where the irreverance & incredulity comes from.

It's one thing to simply be dust, it's another thing to be someones elses sandart project.

Find it funny how religion says we are made out of 'dust' and people mock it... but when a scientist says it...it's cool ;)

[PonyUpTillymahoo]

that's deep! never even thought of it that way!

[VlantrixStudios]

yes i mean it, i couldn't believe it when my friend told me about this site. i know one thing for sure, i got nicely shocked when a check came for $300 after I read the emails and did surveys for a week!. if you wanna try just try now: bit.ly/13M7rgy?=mvjqk

[protestifications]

we are star dust, in the highest exalted way. that notion alone is more beautiful and inspiring than anything any religion can provide

[000ZetyN]

I wonder what would happen if the scientists featured here saw themselves in these videos
