1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
After 13.8 billion years
of cosmic history,

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
our universe has woken up

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and become aware of itself.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
From a small blue planet,

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
tiny, concious parts of our universe
have begun gazing out into the cosmos

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with telescopes,

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
discovering something humbling.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We've discovered that our universe
is vastly grander

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
than our ancestor's imagined,

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and that life seems to be an almost
imprectibly small [protobation]

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on an otherwise dead universe.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But we've also discovered
something inspiring,

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is that the technology
we're developing has the potential

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to help life flourish like never before,

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
not just for centuries
but for billions of years,

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and not just on earth but throughout
