Some amazing stuff there. The part at the end when they name all the stuff that happened during the video was pretty cool.

Yeah, numbers. The same thing slammed into my brain. Why are big numbers so awe inspiring?

really amazing some of the things that were said. but we know some of them arent true
In order to solve problems we dont know are problems yet.


In physics some things arent yet explained and these are the things that upcoming physicists will be trying to figure out. we do not yet know the laws of the universe, I for one am going to be one of the people that try and learn more about the world we live in.

We all learn more about physics whether we want to or not, sometimes getting one in the process.

I wouldnt say that about it. many scientists have searched for a grand unifying law between large and small objects for quite some time. One link that is missing, to me finding this link would be the most wonderous discovery. and im still in year 11 :P.
