I don’t think language can cope with the magnificence of space. We need to evolve and come up with new words to explain the massive scale of the universe, not just mathematically, but linguistically. Visually, i believe we can. Thanks to our up to date telescopes. We not only can measure space but we can see it too (up to a certain point, which is before the big bang). We are able to go back in time to hundreds of millions of light years to appreciate the construct of the universe. This 1977 video is one of many showing us visually the space we live in.

Richard Feynman was a theoretical physicist, an artist who loved to play the drums or paint portraits and a traveller. I would say he was a generalist. He had a charisma and a sense of humor. He used to put things into perspective. He had a great imagination but was real. His curiosity and questioning was an inspiration to me. He will always be one of my favorite human beings. I recommend reading some of his books “The Meaning of it All” and “What Do You Care What Other People Think?” You will see a lot of him in my blog whether its his books, quotes or interviews.
