There are some questions about the universe that are almost too big to wrap your head around. Why are we here? How did everything begin? Are we alone — or is there intelligent life somewhere else? Could aliens already know about us? And if the universe had a beginning, how does this whole thing eventually end? In this episode, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson tackles some of the most fascinating mysteries of the cosmos and separates what scientists actually know from what remains speculation.

I thought I had a pretty good idea of where my money was going and then I started using Monarch. And it turns out there's a big difference between thinking you know and actually seeing it all laid out in front of you.

0:15

And I found that once you actually see the numbers, you look at your money differently.

That was the opening. The rest of the episode (26 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
