I’d like to introduce you to the idea of

I’d like to introduce you to the idea of collision in science you might think of

collision in science you might think of

collision in science you might think of the mixing of one substance with another

the mixing of one substance with another

that’s when you get reactions so that’s

that’s when you get reactions so that’s the first thing we can do to increase

the first thing we can do to increase

the first thing we can do to increase the rate of reaction we increase the

the rate of reaction we increase the

the rate of reaction we increase the energy now the second thing we need is

energy now the second thing we need is

gone off on a bit of a tangent they

gone off on a bit of a tangent they haven’t well why don’t we try looking at

haven’t well why don’t we try looking at

haven’t well why don’t we try looking at this information in a different what if

this information in a different what if

this information in a different what if instead of random particles we had you

instead of random particles we had you

instead of random particles we had you an experience in your life coming

an experience in your life coming

an experience in your life coming together to form an epiphany because

together to form an epiphany because

together to form an epiphany because that’s really all it is isn’t you

that’s really all it is isn’t you

that’s really all it is isn’t you experience something in your life and

experience something in your life and

experience something in your life and your brain forms a revelation from it

we’ve got our particles let’s put them

we’ve got our particles let’s put them in a little box like time now we just

in a little box like time now we just

in a little box like time now we just need a way for them to slide and then

need a way for them to slide and then

need a way for them to slide and then we’ll have our tip in there right well

we’ll have our tip in there right well

we’ll have our tip in there right well that could take a while there’s only two

that could take a while there’s only two

that could take a while there’s only two particles and what if they don’t need

particles and what if they don’t need

particles and what if they don’t need each other in the right way it’s not

each other in the right way it’s not

each other in the right way it’s not like we can just take one and move it

like we can just take one and move it

like we can just take one and move it into the correct position but what we

into the correct position but what we

into the correct position but what we can do is we can fill the box with more

can do is we can fill the box with more

can do is we can fill the box with more particles so that maybe just maybe one

particles so that maybe just maybe one

particles so that maybe just maybe one of them will collide in the right way

of them will collide in the right way

of them will collide in the right way but there’s not much room here is it

but there’s not much room here is it

but there’s not much room here is it well you see that’s the great thing

well you see that’s the great thing

well you see that’s the great thing about time as time goes on we can fill

about time as time goes on we can fill

about time as time goes on we can fill our lives with more experiences so the

our lives with more experiences so the

our lives with more experiences so the more things we do the greater the chance

more things we do the greater the chance

more things we do the greater the chance of having an epiphany but there’s

of having an epiphany but there’s

of having an epiphany but there’s another type of liability in there we

another type of liability in there we

another type of liability in there we don’t only have to increase the number

don’t only have to increase the number

don’t only have to increase the number of experiences you have in your lives

of experiences you have in your lives

of experiences you have in your lives but also the number of you an amazing
