00:00:20.828 --> 00:00:25.983
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch

00:00:25.983 --> 00:00:31.811
You must first invent the universe

00:00:31.811 --> 00:00:36.664
Space is filled with a network of wormholes

00:00:36.664 --> 00:00:39.126
You might emerge somewhere else in space

00:00:39.126 --> 00:00:41.912
Some when-else in time

00:00:41.912 --> 00:00:44.211
The sky calls to us

00:00:44.211 --> 00:00:46.510
If we do not destroy ourselves

00:00:46.510 --> 00:00:52.152
We will one day venture to the stars

00:00:52.152 --> 00:00:54.265
A still more glorious dawn awaits

00:00:54.265 --> 00:00:57.028
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise

00:00:57.028 --> 00:01:01.115
A morning filled with 400 billion suns

00:01:01.115 --> 00:01:02.973
The rising of the milky way

00:01:02.973 --> 00:01:06.479
The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:09.915
Of exquisite interrelationships

00:01:09.915 --> 00:01:12.702
Of the awesome machinery of nature

00:01:12.702 --> 00:01:15.163
I believe our future depends powerfully

00:01:15.163 --> 00:01:17.462
On how well we understand this cosmos

00:01:17.462 --> 00:01:21.386
In which we float like a mote of dust

00:01:21.386 --> 00:01:23.081
In the morning sky

00:01:23.081 --> 00:01:26.471
But the brain does much more than just recollect

00:01:26.471 --> 00:01:30.465
It inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes

00:01:30.465 --> 00:01:32.508
it generates abstractions

00:01:32.508 --> 00:01:37.315
The simplest thought like the concept of the number one

00:01:37.315 --> 00:01:38.847
Has an elaborate logical underpinning

00:01:38.847 --> 00:01:40.566
The brain has its own language

00:01:40.566 --> 00:01:43.584
For testing the structure and consistency of the world

00:02:19.015 --> 00:02:22.013
For thousands of years

00:02:22.013 --> 00:02:24.707
People have wondered about the universe

00:02:24.707 --> 00:02:26.982
Did it stretch out forever

00:02:26.982 --> 00:02:30.024
Or was there a limit

00:02:30.024 --> 00:02:32.927
From the big bang to black holes

00:02:32.927 --> 00:02:35.690
From dark matter to a possible big crunch

00:02:35.690 --> 00:02:37.640
Our image of the universe today

00:02:37.640 --> 00:02:40.357
Is full of strange sounding ideas

00:02:40.357 --> 00:02:43.004
How lucky we are to live in this time

00:02:43.004 --> 00:02:45.814
The first moment in human history

00:02:45.814 --> 00:02:51.015
When we are in fact visiting other worlds

00:03:17.446 --> 00:03:21.340
The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean

00:03:21.340 --> 00:03:24.870
Recently we've waded a little way out

00:03:24.870 --> 00:03:27.981
And the water seems inviting
