Isn't that just a coincidence that world's best minds believe in cosmic and biological evolution and not in a magical story of creation from deluded people wandering in the desert.

but in the end, we are all out own universe and we are the only one we will know :)

Always willing to help :D

Thank you for your inner wisdom.

I disagree, These men have their own unique perspective shaped by their understanding of physics, but that does not equate to inner peace, or a lack of greed or selfishness.  these are fundamental human qualities, regardless of your learned knowledge. Physics only gives us a cause and effect understanding of the universe, it offers no insights into meaning, which is a compleatly human endeavour relative to ones perspective. Perspective can never be free of vices.

[blaineur]

These men make all other things we take for important in our lives seem so insignificant. They have achieved inner peace and understanding with the universe whole most of our population is wrapped up in greed and selfishness. We can learn much from these men.

I love the perspective of these obviously intelligent and learned men... it somehow makes me want to take life less seriously, but, at the same time, be more cognizant. Thank you for this marvelous video! ;-)
