I believe everyone should have a broad picture of how the universe operates and our place in it. It is a basic human desire. And it also puts our worries in perspective.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Those who see the cosmic perspective as a depressing outlook, they really need to reassess how they think about the world. Because when I look up in the universe, I know I'm small but I'm also big. I'm big because I'm connected to the universe, and the universe is connected to me.
The universe is wider than our views of it.
We are discovering what the universe is really like, and it is totally magnificent, and one can only be inspired and awestruck by what we find.
Some people take the view that the universe is simply there, and it runs along - it's a bit as though it just sort of computes, and we happen by accident to find ourselves in this thing. I don't think that's a very fruitful or helpful way of looking at the universe.
I look for what needs to be done. After all, that's how the universe designs itself.
I think my proper response is complete amazement and awe at the universe that we are in, and how it works is just far more complicated than humans will ever properly understand.
My view is that you don't tell the universe what to do. The universe is how it is, and it's our job to figure it out.
It's an audacious thing to build a model of the cosmos. It's exciting how little we know.
I believe that it is important to have faith in a cosmic, universal power and identify the reasons for one's existence.
It's always interesting just to see how the human mind is relating to the natural universe, and what we try to make of it just so we can believe we understand what's going on.
