'Science Saved My Soul'

I do believe that this video (link at bottom) can and will change your perspective on the entirety of your existence. Subsequently, after watching  it, I find myself once again thrown into infinite fascination about the universe in which we float through. When Voyager 1 was leaving our solar System all those decades ago,at the request of Carl Sagan, the probe took a snapshot of Earth from the farthest reaches of our neighborhood, the solar system. Sagan remarked

"From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Look again at that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

I think when reality hits home like a winning lottery ticket and you find yourself on the verge of being unable to comprehend the world around you, I think that is when we are most human, when are minds are running full tilt in child like fascination. Sometimes when I look up at the night sky I find myself strangely awash with a sense of peace. On the verge of tears at the shear magnitude of the cosmos I stand there and think of the universe, not as an entity separate from myself, but I look up at the universe and think to myself "I am a part, a piece, a component … I am the universe"
