Document Summary
Finding beauty in our worlds and expressing ourselves in our worlds. Space: the video first zooms out from a picnic scene and then, in the second part, zooms in toward quarks. Time: time in this video is not shown in a linear way, but in a logarithmic one. Travelling through orders of magnitude means that time is slowing down by a factor of ten each time. In a linear movie, our presence on earth would simply not appear. Humans have been here for the last 1 million yrs in comparison to 4500 million yrs (age of earth). Humans would only appear in the last 0. 06 secs in a 5min video, if viewed linear. Experience of time = relative rate of change between you and your world. Existentially: throwness : thrown into the world at a particular time and space existence , realization of where we are in the universe.
