stars<\/p>\n<p>A still more glorious dawn awaits<br \/>\nNot a sunrise, but a galaxy rise<br \/>\nA morning filled with 400 billion suns<br \/>\nThe rising of the milky way<\/p>\n<p>The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths<br \/>\nOf exquisite interrelationships<br \/>\nOf the awesome machinery of nature<\/p>\n<p>I believe our future depends powerfully<br \/>\nOn how well we understand this cosmos<br \/>\nIn which we float like a mote of dust<br \/>\nIn the morning sky<\/p>\n<p>But the brain does much more than just recollect<br \/>\nIt inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes<br \/>\nit generates abstractions<\/p>\n<p>The simplest thought like the concept of the number one<br \/>\nHas an elaborate logical underpinning<br \/>\nThe brain has it&#8217;s own language<br \/>\nFor testing the structure and consistency of the world<\/p>\n<p>[Hawking]<br \/>\nFor thousands of years<br \/>\nPeople have wondered about the universe<br \/>\nDid it stretch out forever<br \/>\nOr was there a limit<\/p>\n<p>From the big bang to black holes<br \/>\nFrom dark matter to a possible big crunch<br \/>\nOur image of the universe today<br \/>\nIs full of strange sounding ideas<\/p>\n<p>[Sagan}<br \/>\nHow lucky we are to live in this time<br \/>\nThe first moment in human history<br \/>\nWhen we are in fact visiting other worlds<\/p>\n<p>The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean<br \/>\nRecently we&#8217;ve waded a little way out<br \/>\nAnd the water seems inviting <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quite possibly the
