Statement

I find it truly inspiring that everything we know about the universe essentially comes from humans observing closely and analyzing that information over generations.  We have so much knowledge, and at the same time, impenetrable mysteries remain. For thousands of years, cultures have expressed the conundrum of existence using mythology and poetry. Now we are discovering our cosmology from scientific evidence, and the stories it reveals are every bit as astounding and meaningful as those that sprung from the psyche of our ancestors.
