- It’s time to zoom out and give yourself some space. Stop looking at your screens but look up and out. Take our cosmos and look beyond the Milky Way, there are so many stars and planets. The earth has a tiny space in the cosmos, let’s be humble, zoom out and gain perspective. The stars are the original recycling bins, cleaning outer space. We are all stardust, we are all born from the same supernova and all born from the same atoms; we are all children of the stars. And yet, we abuse what we have been given. Let's start to do things differently. Earth is a tiny and vulnerable planet, but we don’t treat it that way. We need to conduct ourselves differently, we need to listen to the stars and keep zooming out. Just remember: look up, think cosmically and act accordingly. Govert Schilling has spent his life exploring the stars. A science journalist by trade and a passionate astronomer by heart. He has shared his passion for astronomy through various articles and books, but recently also through his own television program on Dutch national TV. Across 6 episodes, which were broadcasts in the Spring of this year, he explored man’s place in space and time, and what the future holds for all of us. He still draws great inspiration from man’s first moon landing in 1969 but is also eager to see what impact the manned space flights to Mars will have.
For his work in the field of popularization of astronomy, Govert received various prizes and awards, including the Simon Stevin viewer of the Royal Dutch Society of Weather and Astronomy. In his talk ‘Why every politician should follow a crash course in astronomy’ Govert explains how a more cosmic view of human existence can lead to a more humane society. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Mind blowing speech. Sad that this video doesn't get popular. It's one of my most favorite ted talks ever.
A good and concise narration of the cosmos. But I really appreciate blending knowledge of astronomy with human values to nurture humanity. Great job Mr Govert and keep going. Grateful!
It's one one of the most wise lectures I have ever heard. Yes, we must look at the stars and think accordingly. And yes, this act will change our lives for the better as human beings. We are indebted to you, Govert Schilling, for opening our eyes. Please propagate your ideas as much as you can for the benefit of the humanity. Fazlur Rahman, San Angelo, Texas.

How to study astronomy at college??🚀🚀🚀
What is the name of these 14 books?
It would be wrong to say that only 5 centuries ago earth was the center of the universe. It was the center of the universe for the people in Europe. People in the Indian subcontinent knew at least 1500 years ago that there is a heliocentric model and that the sun is a star, like other blinking dots seen in the night sky. Also, Aryabhatta measured the distance between the Earth and the sun with almost 99% accuracy of the current known value. Even the idea of light as an entity different from matter as well as its speed was known to the people of the past. Unfortunately, the so-called colonialists from the middle-east i.e., the Muslim invaders, and then obviously the British have destroyed everything and now they claim they have discovered everything. I would request Prof. Govert Schilling, who is asking the people to broaden their perspective to also broaden his own perspective in accepting and spreading the truth.
'One' is nobody and nowhere in the Universe. Yet, 'One' is the Universe.
Think cosmically, act accordingly.😆
