It's not just about understanding the world with our logical minds.

I believe exploration has huge potential to allow us to experience things with emotion and feel the context of why we're here on Earth.

We saw that they even dive together, and that is really something that moved me.

That one last dive, seeing that maybe it's not even such a lonely place down there after all.

We are all here together, and that is something extremely powerful.

So we are living in an era now where our tools can give us amazing ability to understand the world in ways never before possible.

The same advances that have put computers in our pockets and access to almost unlimited information on our screens can also allow us to explore in brand new ways.

Our tools no longer limit what we can understand.

It's more that our understanding is limited by curiosity.

So the question isn't, what can we explore?

So much is already within our reach.

The real question is, what will we wonder about next?

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

It was a lot of fun.

Yeah, well, I mean, I think you're right.

It definitely starts with the tinkering.

I kind of mentioned this in the talk.

You know, I actually really struggled in school.

I was not a great student.
