The design of the universe (20 min talk)

**SageTree** · 04-16-2010, 09:27 AM

George Smoot on the design of the universe | Video on TED.com

The part that blew me away was talking at the amount of time/space we see through when there are pictures being taken. 'This is a galaxy 2 million years ago, taken from Hubble.'

"we live in the boonies."

Kinda makes me think we should treat out only neighbours a little better, more often.

referencing around the 12 min mark: does this look familiar?

**SageTree** · 04-16-2010, 11:13 AM

That is a really good point and clears up that essence of familiarity I was experiencing then! Double

Shaggy!!!!!

That's pretty cool, verk. Now the question is, is there a tiny, sub-microscopic verk living deep within one of my braincells, talking with a tiney, sub-microscopic sage about what an amazing universe THEY are in...?
