in the entire universe.
That was the main focus of
tension among scientists.
Now were know there are 100 billion,
maybe even a trillion galaxies.
What is the creativity that brought forth
a trillion galaxies?
Let's consider our own Milky Way galaxy.
It's a galaxy with huge spiral arms.
When we first began to discover galaxies,
we thought maybe these spiral arms
were composed of physical matter.
But actually, it's much more interesting.
The arms are actually waves that are
passing through the galaxy.
And as they pass through
clouds of hydrogen and helium,
they ignite star birth.
That's the way to picture
the Milky Way galaxy.
Not so much as a thing,
but rather as an activity.
It's an ongoing activity
We live in the midst of
this intense creativity.
Come into this little church.
I want to show you something.
The ceiling, as you can see,
is filled with stars.
The same is true of most of the churches
on the island of Samos.
The ancient Greeks, like Pythagoras,
thought the stars were alive, even divine.
Throughout history every
culture has been stunned
by the presence of stars in the
vastness of the night sky.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
So deeply moved by the majesty emanating
from the brilliance of the stars,
we have built our lives around them.
We've even organized entire civilizations
Hallelujah
Here's the essence of the universe story.
The stars are our ancestors.
Out of them everything comes forth.
Stars are dynamic entities.
They're born.
They develop.
They even die.
Star birth occurs when gravity squeezes
together a cloud of atoms so tight
that nuclear fusion ignites in the center.
In the process, hydrogen
fuses in the helium.
This nuclear energy expands outwards
and opposes gravity.
amazingly creative balance
between the powers of
gravitational collapse
and nuclear explosion.
And once a star's nuclear fuel is spent,
there's nothing left to prevent gravity
from collapsing inwards, causing
This super-concentrated dot of matter,
which we call a supernova, explodes outward
with the power of 100 billion stars.
And as it expands, it creates
all of the elements,
phosphorous, oxygen, carbon, gold.
These are spewed out into
the Milky Way galaxy,
and then the whole process starts again.
They drift as a cloud
and then they collapse,
give birth to a star, the Earth.
It's by stupendous process that we can say
the stars are our ancestors.
It's just such an amazing discovery.
