Still not over how great this video is. „Every part of every organism ever known will all be together again“ truly gives me hope in this Corona-age. Stay safe, peace and love ❤️

For me, The meaning of life is to:
Survive and enjoy whats coming, Even if it aint expected.

But the Universal Answer is.. 42.

"Every atom of your being was born in the big bang..."

Is that correct? I thought most atoms are fused in stars?

[stevisburntin]

The narrator sounded like a wannabe David Attenborough. Never the less, great video!

[edwinfigueroa]

regardless of all the viewpoints..
this is a great video to provoke one's thoughts

[carteblanche]

Working out how chemicals become life is the next big step in our understanding for sure..

[invisiblejaguar]

As we are individuals, in my opinion anyway and I know many others agree. I say that the meaning of life is to make your own meaning.

I can see it now, the comment section being overtaken by religion vs science battles

[Magnymbus]

Man, allot of people in the comments totally missed the point. (Especially all the Christians arguing with this without realizing it's technically the exact same thing. I should know, I am one.) I'm glad I understood the message. And thank you.

[AuntyGoogol]

I love the analysis and  then the end, in that lovely accent.

[shroomyesc]

The meaning of life is to create your own meaning for it :)

taunt method.

[IceHedge]

What is he saying at the end?  "Can live it." ?
