"To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour."

This short video about the Hubble Ultra Deep Field reminded me of the William Blake quote above. Except, in this case, in a grain of sand are thousands of galaxies, each containing billions and billions of stars!

Note on Quietube: This is a site that redirects YouTube videos so that you can watch them without the usual background clutter. Particularly good for watching something profound like this. Enjoy!

This video triptych is an exquisite juxtaposition of words, from the incomparable physicist Richard Feynman, skillfully edited video and wonderfully apropos music. I especially liked the first video, a meditation on beauty. The beautiful, haunting music is a track titled Threnody from The Malady of Elegance by Goldmund.
