Hi Bill! Sorry if you're tired of getting hotewig questions.. but I'd like to know more about your thought process/goals for writing the intro part. After the big bang, there's pretty much a straightforward story line for you to follow (if you can call the history of the world straightforward)... but everything from "hi, you're on a rock..." up until "i think there's a universe now" must've been really tricky to write. The origin of the universe (and history of the universe) seems like a real tough story to set the scene for. Did you find it hard to come up with a good intro for the video? (Btw I think you nailed it).
that was probably the most fun part. explaining the motivations for a universe happening, from the perspective of there not being a universe. and it's really common sense, i think, if you look at it from the right perspective, but the problem is you are not allowed to properly use time or space in the description because those things only exist if there is a universe. and most language as we know it is based on time and space. so it makes for some thrilling turns of phrase
