I respect scientists more than any other people in this world. All those people who dedicate their lives to research, for nothing but curiosity and the drive to learn more.

We had lockdowns and were agitated But think about someone in Japan in those challenging times What she did in those circumstances is astounding Her story tells us something great about humans in general No matter how dark the path may seem there is something inside us which is strong enough to find light ❤️

The only things I did so consistently for so long is basic bodily things. This human being is incredible!

At about 1:20 or so, you said that 2 oxygen molecules get fused to form helium. That's not possible for at least a few reasons. One, molecules don't fuse, nuclei do. Two, fusing two oxygen nuclei together simply can't produce helium, they're to heavy. Three, the sun's core simply not hot enough. But do you know what it is hot enough to fuse? Two hydrogen nuclei into helium. Cheers!
