I assume many people around the net have known about Symphony of Science for a while, but there are reasons for me constantly returning to them. I’m one of those people who find wonderful fulfillment in the the ideas presented by great minds and great people. Never where religion is concerned, but always where free thought and science is.

Symphony of Science is a series of videos produced by the user MelodySheep on YouTube, and they have all been great. A few of the first ones however, can bring a tear to my eye. When Neil deGrasse Tyson says ” I know that the molecules in my body are traceable to phenomena in the cosmos. That makes me want to grab people in the street and say HAVE YOU HEARD THIS?”, you can feel a break in his voice that more genuine that I’ve ever heard come from a fire and brimstone preacher. These are people that are in love with reason and the possibilities surrounding mankind’s freedom from the bonds of religion and personal exceptional-ism. I return to these videos constantly because they remind me of what I know and love, and it re-ignites that fire.

The inconceivable nature of nature.
