Posted by cistronic in Science & Society, Video on 2012/08/05
A message from space to our blue marble:
And here is the executive summary: “Our Story in 1 Minute” (somewhat reminiscent of the BigBangTheory Intro Sequence) by melodysheep
The following footage taken from the International Space Station left me speechless anyway: “View from the ISS at Night” by Knate Myers (fullscreen view is a must)

Saying that you don't understand it
meaning "I don't believe it -
it's too crazy!
- it's the kind of thing ...
I just ...
I'm not going to accept it!"The other person
well this kind -
I hope you come along with me,
... you have to accept it.
Because it's the way nature works!If you wanna know
the way nature works
we looked at it, carefully:
that's the way it looks!You don't like it?
GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
To another universe -
where the rules are simpler -
philosophically more pleasing -
more psychologically easy -
I can't help it, OK?!If I am going to tell you honestly
what the world looks like
to human beings who struggled
as hard as they can
to understand it :I can only tell you what it looks like,
and I cannot make it any simpler ...
I am not gonna do this.
I am not gonna simplify it.
I am not gonna fake it.
I am not gonna tell you
it looks something like
a ball bearing on a spring -
it isn't.So I am gonna tell you
what it really is like
and if you don't like itTHAT'S TOO BAD!
