Show transcript0:03I'm not very good at, uh, singing songs, but, uh, here's here's a try.0:20If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch,0:26you must first invent the universe. Space is filled with a network of wormholes.0:36You might emerge somewhere else in space, some when else in time.0:41The sky calls to us. If we do not destroy ourselves, we will one day venture to the stars.0:51A still more glorious dawn awaits, not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise, a morning filled with 400 billion suns, the rising of the Milky Way.1:01The cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths, of exquisite interrelationships, of the awesome machinery of nature.1:12I believe our future depends powerfully on how well we understand this cosmos in which we float like a mote of dust in the morning sky.1:22But the brain does much more than just recollect.

Recently, we've waded a little way up, and the water seems inviting.
