We really are all connected
"We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically."
- Neil deGrasse Tyson
My son Lukas sent me a video link to an amazing video: The Most Astounding Fact. He saw it and said that he immediately thought of me and knew it would fit well in my blog. Thank you once again Lukas!The video is an excerpt from an interview of Astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson. He was asked: What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe? And who better to answer this question than this inspirational man. He shares his information in a concise and easy to understand way, that is both inspirational and educational. To me, his explanation is unity explained. We really are all connected.
"The atoms that comprise life on Earth, the atoms that make up the human body are traceable to the crucibles that cooked light elements into heavy elements . . . stars collapsed and then exploded scattering their enriched guts across the galaxy, guts made of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and all the fundamental ingredients of life itself. So that when I look up at the night sky and I know that yes, we are part of this universe, we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the Universe is in us."
We may look different and sound different, but in fact our make up is the same. To me, this is a call for cooperation, for collaboration, for compassion, for love.As Dr. DeGrasse Tyson puts it: After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?Please take the time to watch this wonderful video, not only is the message timely, but the pictures of space are incredibly beautiful.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D05ej8u-gU]I’d love to hear what you thought of this video.
