An inspiring supercut of the universe’s greatest delights set to astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson‘s answer to the question, “What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?” This question was asked by a TIME magazine reader.

A fluent answer by Tyson in this truly life affirming nugget. Warning…don’t watch this while drunk or high, you’ll weep like a baby. Just saying. Who needs religion when you have the Force?

The supercut was made by Max Schlickenmeyer.
