Six words to explain why I should go see The Babymakers?

"You're not recording are you?"

"Uhhh no."

AH! It would be my dream to do an undergraduate REU at Cornell over the summer either with physics or astrophysics. This is awesome, and I hope this question doesn't get buried!

I have a question concerning education. I personally believe it would do the world a lot of good if people could be able to feel the incredible overwhelming 'awe of the universe.' There's a Japanese word for this feeling, Yugen, and is described as "a profound, mysterious sense of the beauty of the universe." As astronomers, I'm guessing that you are familiar with this feeling, and might share the same viewpoint that I do that more people need to experience it.

If you do agree with me, how do you possibly go about conveying it to others? I've tried so many times with friends and family to list the amazing things that are evident about the universe, but it rarely phases them. How do you convince the unamazed to be inspired?

Furthermore, your research projects are totally banging.

What's the mandatory item for each of you on your tour riders?
