Whenever I'm having trouble understanding a concept,...
...I go back and I research the people that discovered that concept.
I look at the story of how they came to understand it.
And what happens when you look at what the discoverers were thinking about when they made their discoveries...
...is you understand that they are not so different from us.
We are all bags of meat and water.
We all start with the same tools.
I love the idea that different branches of science are called fields of study.
Most people think of science as a closed black box,...
...and in fact, it is an open field...
...and we are all explorers.
The people that made these discoveries just thought a little bit harder about what they were looking at,...
...and they were a little bit more curious,...
...and their curiosity changed the way people thought about the world,...
...and thus, it changed the world.
They changed the world, and so can you.
Thank you.
