What is the most astounding fact about the Universe?
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?”
The famed scientist and author gives an answer that is perhaps as eloquent as it is mind-blowing; as beautiful as it is sublime.
It’s best to hear Tyson’s response in the video below, but his answer is perhaps best revealed in one particular quote:
“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,” he explains.
“Many people feel small because they’re small and the universe is big, but I feel big,” he says.
Breathtaking visuals create a powerful representation of the science behind Tyson’s answer.
We don’t say this enough, but thank you to all those who share their positive comments, gratitude and expressing who you are. The only reason information channels its way down our path is because of our connection to others, and hopefully we share it when you need to see it most.
