The Amazing Universe (through the eyes of a scientist)

This video was actually 'recorded live' so to speak, under the silver arch! The silence you hear, is the silence of the dark night in a clearing way up high in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. -Quite a profound and moving experience.

The Man Under the Silver Arch.

He stands, that all he does, static under the silver arch as the universe courses through his brain.

He sees it all from galactose to galaxies. He sees the nuclei, and the wavefunctions of the electrons. The free energy minima spanning orders of magnitude and different fundamental forces. The bound states of the nuclei, the electrons, the molecules into the kinetic arena of the non-converged states of life. The electron imbalances and the cascades of his nervous system leading him to conceive both those imbalances and the universe exterior to them.

He feels the density gradient beneath his feet and the thousand fold less dense gas pressing on him. He feels it in the gravitational gradient of the earth, and sees the pressure drop to that of space a hundred miles above his head.

All of a sudden, the man under the silver arch is lost as the earth drops away to reveal the nearby star, the thermonuclear furnace of which is primarily responsible, for fuelling the thoughts he is currently thinking. The static stars begin to show signs of parallax as he drifts through the galaxy, then out of it to the orders of magnitude beyond.

He blinks, and all of a sudden, he is just the lone man, standing on the mountain under the star light sky. Beautiful pin pricks of light on the velvet black.

The man under the silver arch smiles:- the Universe, its fuckin'
Awesome!

Religion was, for the most part, invented in the bronze ages and back then they believed that the earth was flat, sea monsters existed, earth was the centre of the universe and more.. Nowadays we come across more info in a week then ppl in the 18th century knew in a life time, imagine 2000+ years ago. Religious ppl shut the eyes of reason and logic because of faith.. I wish there were an incurable disease to rid the world of these murderes and retards so that we can evolve to a civilized world

@jdderew1 Creationists. One of their accusations against secularists is that we "don't see beauty and 'poetry' in the universe like religious folk do." So when they are proven wrong by people like Tfoot, they can't do anything but dislike it. Just like that comment before yours- by BlindAlmighty... see it?.. that doesn't even make any sense.. lol

This video brought a tear to my eye. Great video.

Great Video. I personally am very religious and do believe in god but don't reject science. I mean i respect all beliefs because i dont think my personal beliefs are more important then other peoples. I personally believe that god created every1 thus creating people that are scientists lol, so i cant reject it. The problem with this is world is no 1 respects each other. It dun matter if ur religous or an atheist . We are all human!!! and we need to treat each other equally.

I absolutely LOVE looking up at the sky on a clear night. Nothing more beautiful than the fact that we are made up of exploded stars. I always thought it would be so cool to live on a planet orbiting a star that is relatively close to a globular cluster. Imagine how beautiful that would be.

Wonderful stuff, even better than the troll slaying!
