Since learning about the death of Stephen Hawking, I've immersed myself with cosmological stuff, reading snippets about string theory and quantum mechanics, sort of like a refresher to my readings some twenty or thirty years ago. Not that I fully understand the surface of the iceberg, but when YouTube became an obvious option, I used to watch Prof. Michio Kaku's easy-to-follow explanations of attempts to get hold of the Theory of Everything. It was just like watching Carl Sagan programs in the eighties, at best mind-blowing to a dreamer like myself, encouraging at the very least. I love his mental swagger and sense of where we humans are truly at in the universal pecking order, both of which are admirable and at the same time, humbling. The future of humanity? With SpaceX in place, it's already happening now. We have no other choice.
