Henry Lin: What we can learn from galaxies far, far away....
CUE INTRO MUSIC!
Just kidding! If only right!! Today's
TED Talk (click here) discussed how "...studying the properties of the universe's largest pieces...we can learn quite a lot about scientific mysteries in our own world and galaxy." First off I would like to say, this kid is too cute! You can just feel his energy flowing to the audience, his passion in his eyes, revealing just how much he loves astronomy! Overall, this partial TED talk was very interesting, when Henry Lin explains how big the universe is, it really puts into perspective how big it is. The part about stuff being made of dark matter, rather than atoms, was interesting as well, because it seems it has unlimited possibilities. What happens when galaxy clusters collide? A particle accelerator at a huge scale, meaning we could observe these transformations in science. His dark energy segment was also interesting because this explains the ever expanding universe!
I really liked his energy, it was so passionate that I wanted to pull out my old telescope and go look at the starts!
