Great lecture! You really feel special and motivated to do something special and useful with your life.

2. How lucky we are to born over other possible sperms and eggs and even over other ancestors.
3. Power of scientific prediction with a heavy ball.
4. Illustration of time scales involved with 500 million etc.
5. Why very eerie occurences are no so special after all, given the number of people.
