HONORS HW: watch this talk for Wed 4/8

The link below is to a talk given by physicist David Deutsch. It is titled What is our place in the cosmos? We aren't on this chapter yet, but we'll be getting to it soon.

Assignment: Watch the first 7 minutes of this talk. The way he presents the utterly HUGE scale of the universe is very cool.

Enjoy.
