Hello.
(Audience) Hello.
My name is Tom Chi,
and ever since I was a young child,
I was determined to understand how the entire universe worked,
and that fascination led me to my first job, at age 15 -
I did astrophysical research with the Harvard-Smithsonian Observatory
in active galactic nuclei.
Now, years after being a scientist and astrophysicist,
I slowly kind of matured out of that and entered the world of people.
It actually turns out that the world of people
is way harder to understand than the entire universe.
But I stayed with it,
and in the process of being a technologist,
an inventor, and an entrepreneur,
I've learned a lot about people.
What I'm going to talk to you today is a little bit of what I've learned.
Because as I learn about people,
I get very interested in the gaps that still remain
for us as human beings and us as a civilization,
relative to the challenges that are in front of us.
And one of those gaps that I've seen is around this concept,
and the concept is a really simple one.
It's the concept that everything is connected.
You've probably heard this many, many times, in fact.
It's an element of almost every spiritual tradition of humankind
throughout all of history.
But whenever I hear people talk and mention this phrase
that "we are all connected,"
they do so in a way
where it's something they wish that they could believe was true,
that it's something that's abstract;
that it's esoteric;
that it's a thing that is unprovable,
but they just really wish the universe was like that.
And today I'm here to describe that everything really is connected,
and not in some abstract, esoteric way
but in a very concrete, direct, understandable way.
And I am going to do that with three different stories:
a story of the heart,
a story of the breath,
and a story of the mind.
So let's begin.
So all of you in this audience today,
your hearts are beating right at this moment.
And the reason that your hearts beat
is because you need to move this molecule through your blood called hemoglobin.
And hemoglobin carries this smaller molecule
that's called heme B,
which is what we see over here.
Now, at the heart of heme B is a single atom of iron,
so in a way, at the heart of our heart is this little iron atom.
And this is actually really a central part of the hemoglobin molecule
because this is the thing that allows us to bind oxygen
and move that through our circulatory system.
But one thing that you may not know
is that the only way that iron is created in the universe,
is through supernovas and through supermassive stars.
So the universe started with basically no iron at all.
Hydrogen. Helium -
And only through the process of these stars forming, exploding,
forming and exploding,
was iron able to be created
that now courses through each one of our veins.
But the story doesn't really end there.
Because - why do stars keep forming?
