This is *our* Universe, our museum of wonder and beauty, our cathedral.

We will first understand how simple the universe is when we recognize how strange it is.

I like to think that someone will trace how the deepest thinking of India made its way to Greece and from there to the philosophy of our times

No space, no time, no gravity, no electromagnetism, no particles. Nothing. We are back where Plato, Aristotle and Parmenides struggled with the great questions: How Come the Universe, How Come Us, How Come Anything? But happily also we have around the answer to these questions. That's us.

We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance.

In order to more fully understand this reality, we must take into account other dimensions of a broader reality.

We are not only observers. We are participators. In some strange sense this is aparticipatory universe.
