This youre not in a Motor Vehicle or a train where you dont see anything. Thats a lovely slow pace where you get to meet people and get to interact with people at a ground level. You get to stay in their homes and get to understand cultures from the inside out. So, i do feel like i had this birds eye view of the world which i didnt before growing up england where i was dying to get out and i felt claustrophobic. I needed to get my head around on what this planet we live on and what we need to do to get along and to overcome all these big problems. I feel like i have some answers now that i didnt before.

Nbcs julia bagg is in houston near the Chemical Plant. Whats the latest from there .

Now firefighters have pushed us back to where we are, where its apparently safe, theyve blocked off this road between houston going northeast to beaumont. What happened here at the plant is that Hurricane Harvey dumped so much water it flooded the generators, they lost power, that means the refrigeration system failed. And then the chemicals that they use here got too hot and thats what put this place at risk for explosions and potentially a fir
When the ideas of existence of dark energy actually brings about that our universe could become everything we can see all this can be just a tiny little part of a much grander reality what we call multiverse. There is a picture of that perhaps. You can see the little yellow circle, thats pretty much what we can see around us. If measurement and theories are correct our own universe is infinite in time. This idea of the multiverse is all of that is but a tiny piece of a much grander reality, a multiverse which is made up of many marbles like in this case which are different kinds of universes, each one of them a different loss of physics and an even and thats a sophisticated idea that we brought in to explain the mr. Of the dark push. We dont know if if this makes sense but we dont know if we will ever be able to prove or disprove these ideas. This is very controversial and yet a very exciting but it goes at the heart of one of the biggest questions ever, why are we here and what doesnt

I woke up this morning quite nervous, more usually more nervous than i usually am when i am going to be giving a talk. I noticed that a number of your teachers. Is that right . Thank you. I appreciate that. I will just look at kevin. Kevin is a teacher, in addition to blogging. To being insed front of unruly crowds and you may have some experience with a particularly nerveracking speaking engagement. Where youre not quite sure if the subject matter of your talk fits with the events at hand, and then you learn, i dont know, maybe that cspan is going to broadcast your event live because Live Television still happens, apparently.
