The Most Astounding Fact

[joeecho]

Heaven above, heaven below;
stars above, stars below;
all that is above, thus also below;
understand this and be blessed.

- Kircher, Prodrom. Copt., pp 193 and 275.

Astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson was asked by a reader of TIME magazine, "What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?" This is his answer.

Isn't expanded awareness a beautiful thing?

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing it. I knew that but hearing it again was very nice. The universe blows my mind Made me think of how energy cannot be destroyed and moves onto other forms and how the beginning of the universe may have had just stars, and through a very long process the energy eventually became self aware consciousnesses experiencing the universe. There are for sure lots of unknowns we have yet to discover publicly that are probably just as astonishing.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the wonderful video. I couldn't help thinking "as above so below". I have been working in my garden and have my compost bins where I put dead plant matter. When it decomposes I put it back into garden bed where it will eventually become part of a new and different plant. I never loose the awe that I feel at seeing and understanding how everything moves through world and galaxies and is repeatedly transformed into something else. It really does give me a true feeling of connection to all things.

What wonderful moments you have while gardening. Very cool!

There is and/ or can be more to gardening then meets the eye.

A person does not have to travel across the universe to travel across the universe, if you know what I mean.

Thanks for posting! Just realizing that i'm part of all this even astounds me. My hunch is that the things that exist beyond our senses and comprehension are even much more astounding.

Atoms! You just can't trust them. They make up everything.
