Neil deGrasse Tyson always leaves me with a sense of awe.
These are his words from the vid:

Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body, the atoms that construct the molecules, are traceable to the crucibles that were once the centers of high mass stars that exploded their chemically enriched guts into the galaxy. Enriching pristine gas clouds with the chemistry of life. So that we are all connected, to each other biologically, to the Earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically.

That's kind of cool.
That makes me smile.
And I actually feel quite large at the end of that.

It's not that we are better than the universe.
We're part of the universe.
We're in the universe and the universe is in us.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

  • Damn. I need this on audio so I can set up my alarm clock with it. That would be great way to wake up...

  • I remember seeing this when The Universe was running. I was not expecting to get emotional over a TV show about space. :) This clip really made an impact on me, and I'm glad to see that it's on youtube now so I can watch it whenever I want - thanks KevinBernal.

see all

  • The best quote i've ever heard.

  • The Symphony of Science <3

  • @gvparks aah, thank you :)

  • @revisoryvirus It's called "The Universe", and if you have Netflix you can stream seasons 1-5 online :-)

  • One of my favourite quotes! :)

    Anyone know what this show is called? I rly want to watch the whole thing. Obviously it's from the History Channel :)

  • Dr. Tyson is a brilliant shining star

  • He needs a big kiss for saying that. From me, of course;-)

  • "We are in the universe and the universe is is us" Perhaps the most beautiful quotes i have ever heard. and the best part is that its not meant as a metaphor for some sort of supernatural link rather its a real physical connection which any materialist can accept. Proof that science can give us really good inspiration and help us understand our place in the universe
