than you think, actually.
everything that matters --
– sve što je važno –
but we can't see what holds them apart,
ali ne vidimo šta ih razdvaja
we see only the skin of things,
vidimo samo površinu stvari,
ono što pokreće ljude,
we can't see what makes people tick,
the more it disappears.
really closely at stuff,
i osnovnu podstrukturu materije,
substructure of matter,
u nekoj gužvi i postoji samo energija.
and there is only energy.
je da ono što ne vidimo
about invisibility is,
we also can't understand.
and which we don't understand.
i ne razumemo je.
of all the four fundamental forces,
nju najmanje razumemo,
šta je ili zašto postoji.
knows what it is or why it's there.
the greatest scientist who ever lived,
najveći naučnik svih vremena
da bi upravljao polugama gravitacije.
to Earth specifically
možda pogrešio, ne znam. (Smeh)
on that one, I don't know.
nemam pojma o čemu razmišljate.
I've no idea what any of you are thinking.
neverovatno, da ne možemo da čitamo misli,
each other's minds,
ali ne i da čitamo misli?
taste each other,
but we can't read each other's minds.
this great Middle Eastern religion
za koju se tvrdi da je koren svih religija,
is the root of all religions,
telepatije, navodno,
all telepaths, so they say,
slanje signala svima ostalima da ona ne postoji.
to the rest of us that it doesn't exist.
the Sufi masters working on us.
sufi učitelji su nas ubedili.
and artificial intelligence,
i veštačke inteligencije,
like the study of consciousness,
kao i nauka o svesti,
kako svest funkcioniše.
how consciousness works.
nije stvorena,
artificial intelligence,
artificial stupidity.
eternal, omnipresent, all powerful.
sveprisutno, svemoguće.
materijalista, ja sam nematerijalista.
not a materialist, I'm an immaterialist.
OK? To sam ja, [bog?]
new word -- ignostic.
da li bog postoji,
on whether God exists
ne definiše pojmove.
is the human genome.
je ljudski genom.
because about 20 years ago
jer pre 20 godina,
they thought it would probably contain
mislili su da verovatno sadrži
Od tada,
it's been revised downwards.
da u ljudskom genomu ima
to be just over 20 thousand genes
because rice -- get this --
two more than people,
dva više od ljudi
(Smeh)
but they are very strange.
ali su veoma čudne.
think that's fascinating.
mislim da je to začuđujuće.
ima, manje možete da vidite.
the less you can see.
veliki pokret u modernoj fizici
jer je previše nezgodno za brojke.
for the figures.
očigledno,
except in your memory.
osim u sećanju.
things about the past
prošlošću koju ne vidite –
kakav sam ja bio sa dve godine?"
what I was like when I was two?
"Zašto se ja ne sećam?"
šta se desilo pre druge ili treće godine.
earlier than the age of two or three.
inače bi ostali bez posla.
because otherwise they'd be out of a job.
(Smeh)
is the grid on which we hang.
da se ćelije stalno obnavljaju.
that cells are continually renewed.
nokti, takve stvari –
nails, that kind of stuff --
is replaced at some point.
se u nekom trenutku zameni.
desetak dana.
take a bit longer.
je potrebno malo duže.
not one cell in your body
u vašem telu ne ostaje
seven years ago.
pre tih 7 godina.
who then are we? What are we?
Šta smo? Na čemu visimo?
Manji su od talasne dužine svetla.
than the wavelength of light.
neko je skoro pomenuo 1600.
mentioned 1600 recently.

invention of a word by a known individual.
kaže se da je ova najuspešnija.
called "blas," meaning astral radiation.
blas – zvezdana radijacija.
(Smeh)
Svetlost ne možete da vidite.
neko sija pravo u oči, nećete videti.
you won't see it.
will disagree with this.
Čudno je da ne vidite snop svetla,
the beam of light,
da vam iko kaže da razume elektricitet.
they understand electricity, they don't.
da se elektroni u žici kreću brzo,
in an electric wire move instantaneously
kad upalite svetlo, zar ne?
at the speed of light,
otprilike brzinom meda koji teče.
honey, they say.
stotinu milijardi u univerzumu.
Hundred billion.
pet, od sto milijardi.

because they radiated.
talasa koje je pronašao.
"What's the point of these, Heinrich?
that you've found?"
ali neko će valjda nekad naći svrhu.
a use for them someday.
je ono što ne znamo.
to us is what we don't know.
kako malo znamo.
da ne znamo 1% milionitog dela bilo čega.
of one millionth about anything."
"What's another thing we can't see?"
Šta je poenta?
dva vredna pitanja.
really worth asking.
da uradimo dok smo tu?
we do about it while we are?"

thinkers of the 20th century.
drugi je pesnik.
and the other a poet.
koji je rekao:
da nije da bismo uživali."
in order to enjoy ourselves."
