Neil deGrasse Tyson's extemporaneous "testimonial" delivered at the 2006 Beyond Belief conference. This version is the shortest (5 mins) and with the most added visuals. Contains one of the clips used in Symphony of Science "We Are All Connected"
I love this! Focus on the experience of being able to see what we came from with our own eyes, and all the 'feel small' thing fades into nothing. We are exactly the right size to appreciate the universe. That's what counts. After that - with a bit more reflection - one comes to see that the universe is ALSO us. What else are we? There is no other conclusion to draw.
