Neil deGrasse Tyson - The Most Astounding Fact

The Calcium in your bones, the Iron in your blood, the Oxygen you breathe... From the stars we came, to the stars we return... ☯️🌌☯️

Daddy

And God created it all. Praise God!!

And God created it all. Praise God!!

i will forever be in awe by the universe, and that being reminded how everything on earth is a subsidiary event connected to events in depths of space and time, that one day we’d all be dust and memories.

Who else is Here because this is featured in mount somas "Origins" EP?

Psychedelics taught me this somehow... I love this idea.

This quote here is why I’m not canceling Neil Tyson, even tho he does seem to have lost his ways.

FACT? No dude, THEORY.

I pursued a degree in Physics because of this video. And I have it. Thanks, Neil.

The only God i know is real is the Universe.

What is the most astounding power we possess?

"Amor Fati"

We are born of Stardust traced back to the ancient birth of our vibrant cosmos, we are the universe made sentient.
Our lives are born of a sophisticated chain of events leading all the way back to the first seed sown into the Earth, the first river banks settled, every war waged for liberty and oppression alike, every tragic market crash and even the triumphant steps we have taken to worlds beyond our own.

Any and every moment we live and every space we breathe in, however momentous or mundane, is the cosmic expression of life, a grand dance that is the culmination of everything that has come before.

As you read this paragraph, you may very well be feeling triumphant or joyous on the back of, perhaps, closing a successful deal or the birth of your beautiful daughter. Perhaps, you feel morose, heartbroken on the back of a love that has forsaken your bond. Maybe you are melancholic, longing for days past when everything seemed right with the world. Or perhaps, your heart is brimming with hope and electricity.

Good.

Remember this moment. And love it, however great or pathetic it may be.
Do not rationalise. Do not lose your power.

We all feel small in the expanse of this wide world and in the laps of a much bigger cosmos.
Collectively though, blessed are we mortal creatures for our lives are sacred havens of all things wondrous, our lives are fields where we gallop to vistas, bright and bleak alike. And it very well could be that no one else feels the way you do tonight/today. Furthermore, no one has the unique potential to alter your fate as you can either.

Love thy fate just for this one moment. Its okay. Whatever you feel, is the very universe living and breathing through your very body and soul.

Dr. Peacock brought me here. Not even complaining

I watched this in 2017, brings back so many memories

This is why I’m excited for Starfield by Bethesda. You get to explore the galaxy that created us. Really deep stuff.

This video does it to me every time😢

ChatGPT suggested me this video

from Subtronics intro)

One of my favorite videos. Phenomenal perspective of how we are all connected in life.

The first time I Hurd this great man speak I was tripping and ever since then I always find life so amazing

Neil DeGrasse Tyson's most astounding fact is that the atoms that make up our bodies were created in the cores of stars that went supernova. This is a profound and awe-inspiring fact that reminds us of our connection to the universe. We are literally made of stardust.

This fact can also be seen as a source of hope. It reminds us that we are part of something much larger than ourselves. We are not alone in the universe. There are billions of stars and planets out there, and there is no reason to believe that we are the only ones that harbor life.

The most astounding fact is a reminder that we are all connected. We are all made of the same stuff, and we all share this one planet. We need to work together to protect our home and to ensure that future generations can enjoy the same beauty and wonder that we do.

Here are some additional thoughts on the most astounding fact:

• It is a reminder of the vastness of the universe and our place in it.

• It is a source of hope and inspiration.

• It reminds us of our connection to each other and to the planet.

• It is a call to action to protect our home and to ensure a sustainable future.

Think about the majesty of subatomic particles. Learning about them is incredible. Do you look at electrons and think "oh wow how insignificant"? I don't. I think wow, this is what my matter is made up of. This is the fabric of me. The same way you make up the fabric of the universe.

Spinoza would agree

Why can’t NGT always be like this instead of the asshole he usually is

This could have been a Don Draper pitch in Mad Men. Thought it was John Hamm at first when I heard this.

the first time I heard this I was at summer camp and we were doing devotion, and that night I was so tired I could barely stay awake, but I listened. I listened to the way he presented his knowledge and in that moment when it ended I knew that everyone I heard it again and again, it would have the same effect on me because of how life changing that really was to me. The fact that I almost dozed off that night , but didn’t before I heard what he had to say, just shows that god wanted me to heard that message and that that was his message to me. thank you for reading ❤

Ash Dust and water.

For my mother, and my father. ❤

It seems as if I am not the only one, but this very video, in 2012/2013, inspired me to get a degree in physics, which I did. After my graduation ceremony in 2017, I sat down with friends at a nearby Starbucks, and this song came on, which I hadn't heard anywhere else since I first saw this video. It took my breath away.

This is my favorite thing to watch when I'm sad that I'm a person I'm part of this universe I'm not alone anymore!!

"maybe we're unique not because we're different but because we're the same"

- Neil degrasse Tyson

Live life to the fullest. The universe is beautiful. Keep gaining knowledge. Its a gift. I always hated math and physics, but a great teacher joined my school and the way he taught me math and physics made me love both the subjects.

According to Joseph Campbell, in Myths to Live By, "The second function
of a living mythology is to offer an image of the universe that will be in
accord with the knowledge of the time, the sciences and the fields of action
of the folk to whom the mythology is addressed." This world-view proves people are still interested in Myths to Live By....

Original clip?

🌟🌸

My dad passed away in December 2023. He was creamated. So we just rearranged this atoms, and then we are gonna push his ashes at the base of a tree, which will just reintroduce him into this vast universe.
There really is something comforting about all of this to me.

....years later I still watch this video in the early mornings for inspiration

"We are the Cosmos, dreaming of itself." - Everyone

We are no different from one another. We have allowed our ideals to divide us and say we are different. But you came from those stars just as I did. We are one and the same. One day, I hope we can realize that and come together as one across this planet and finally move forward and maybe…just maybe…reach for those stars

A star had to die, for you to be born.

Class edit!

Still watching in 2024

I remember watching this video in middle school, forever changing me, and I thought I would never find it again. Thank you

I visit this video once in a while. I always get energy from it. Particularly now that I am a father. It gets better every time.

This video was part of the beginning of me leaving Christianity

This video has been grounding and reassuring me for 11 years… I found this as a freshman in college while listening to StarTalk. Man how the world has changed and so have I but this video? It’s beyond beautiful and meaningful, I take away something new every time.

Does this not make u cry every time! 😢

I don’t watch this video often, but I do always go back to it. And every single time it gives me goosebumps.
