00:06

Hello.

00:07

(Audience) Hello.

00:09

My name is Tom Chi,

00:10

and ever since I was a young child,

00:12

I was determined to understand how the entire universe worked,

00:17

and that fascination led me to my first job, at age 15 -

00:23

I did astrophysical research with the Harvard-Smithsonian Observatory

00:29

in active galactic nuclei.

00:31

Now, years after being a scientist and astrophysicist,

00:36

I slowly kind of matured out of that and entered the world of people.

00:40

It actually turns out that the world of people

00:43

is way harder to understand than the entire universe.

00:46

But I stayed with it,

00:48

and in the process of being a technologist,

00:53

an inventor, and an entrepreneur,

00:56

I've learned a lot about people.

00:59

What I'm going to talk to you today is a little bit of what I've learned.

01:03

Because as I learn about people,

01:05

I get very interested in the gaps that still remain

01:08

for us as human beings and us as a civilization,

01:12

relative to the challenges that are in front of us.

01:15

And one of those gaps that I've seen is around this concept,

01:19

and the concept is a really simple one.

01:21

It's the concept that everything is connected.

01:26

You've probably heard this many, many times, in fact.

01:29

It's an element of almost every spiritual tradition of humankind

01:33

throughout all of history.

01:35

But whenever I hear people talk and mention this phrase

01:38

that "we are all connected,"

01:40

they do so in a way

01:41

where it's something they wish that they could believe was true,

01:47

that it's something that's abstract;

01:48

that it's esoteric;

01:50

that it's a thing that is unprovable,

01:54

but they just really wish the universe was like that.

01:57

And today I'm here to describe that everything really is connected,

02:02

and not in some abstract, esoteric way

02:04

but in a very concrete, direct, understandable way.

02:09

And I am going to do that with three different stories:

02:12

a story of the heart,

02:14

a story of the breath,

02:16

and a story of the mind.

02:18

So let's begin.

02:21

So all of you in this audience today,

02:23

your hearts are beating right at this moment.

02:26

And the reason that your hearts beat

02:28

is because you need to move this molecule through your blood called hemoglobin.

02:32

And hemoglobin carries this smaller molecule

02:35

that's called heme B,

02:36

which is what we see over here.

02:38

Now, at the heart of heme B is a single atom of iron,

02:42

so in a way, at the heart of our heart is this little iron atom.

02:46

And this is actually really a central part of the hemoglobin molecule

02:50

because this is the thing that allows us to bind oxygen

02:52

and move that through our circulatory system.

02:56

But one thing that you may not know

02:58

is that the only way that iron is created in the universe,

03:02

is through supernovas and through supermassive stars.

03:09

So the universe started with basically no iron at all.

03:13

Hydrogen. Helium -

03:15

And only through the process of these stars forming, exploding,

03:20

forming and exploding,

03:21

was iron able to be created

03:23

that now courses through each one of our veins.

03:26

But the story doesn't really end there.

03:28

Because - why do stars keep forming?
