Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson was asked in an interview with Time magazine: "What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the universe?"

The scientist and author gives an answer that is simply mind blowing. Hear it in this quote:

"We are part of this universe; we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts, is that the universe is in us," he explains.

"Many people feel small because they're small and the universe is big, but I feel big," he says.

The video you see above was edited by Max Schlickenmeyer and he ties the insights together with visuals to create a powerful representation of the science behind Tyson's answer. Check out the video above and also the interview below in the video.
