This documentary has an epoch-making significance for me, please let me elaborate on it in a moment.
Here are some quotes from Professor Brain Cox
//
"It's not that humans are irrelevant, because humans are a conscious species created by the universe, and life is the universe's way of understanding itself."
//
"We are the children of the stars, and our stories are the stories of the stars"
"Everyone, everything you love and hate, the most precious thing you have"
"synthesized by the forces of nature in the first minutes of life in the universe, transformed in stars, or born in their burning demise"
"When you die, the pieces will go back into the universe, in an infinite cycle of death and rebirth"
"What a wonderful thing to be a part of the universe like that, what a breathtaking story, what a magnificent chapter"
//
The word "beautiful" is used a lot in physics, at least in my mouth it's "abused". Einstein's theory of gravity is not the ultimate explanation of the universe, it is between ignorance and unknown, so it is the most beautiful
"The road is a long way to go, I will go up and down and seek it out"
//
Say that Brain Cox is a poet of the universe, but he is not melancholy; or that he is a philosopher, but his smile is so smart and non-rigid. His pure enthusiasm for the universe also really, really, infected me a lot
Indeed, the road is a long way to go, and I will search up and down. When I saw you again in "Planet" in 2019, I understood - this is a long and beautiful road, and I also believe that you will be with me too
Between the mountains and the stars, what do you want to lean on?
Your smile is dimly lit in the sunset
Light up the galaxy for us
