Fifty years ago
:01:07
Paris was a light-hearted city
:01:09
the goal of many a traveler
:01:12
but some came notfor gaiety but to work
:01:14
to study at one of the world'smost famous university
:01:18
the Sorban.
:01:19
To its lecture room and classes
:01:21
came studentsfrom all over the world
:01:24
and among them was a young girl.
:01:26
She was poor. She was beautiful.
:01:29
She had left herhomeland and family
:01:32
and here in Paris, she was alone
:01:35
haunted bydreams and invincibly eager
:01:40
To go out alone into space.Go out alone.
:01:44
In one hundred years
:01:45
one hundred studentsbut when it is time
:01:49
for you to think
:01:51
you, too, will be alone
:01:53
like the author of this equationlike Newton
:01:57
let us say your Galileo.
:01:59
Probably will not be yourgood fortune to reach the sky
:02:04
to catch the starsin your fingertips.
:02:07
To catch a starin your fingertips.
:02:10
But this you can share with them.
:02:13
You can learn tobe alone with nature
:02:18
with the ray of lightpiece of earth
:02:20
drop of rainyou can become aware
:02:24
that the earth's swirlingabout the sun
:02:26
at the rate of66,000 miles per hour.
:02:29
Aware that the...
:02:34
What... what's that?
:02:42
You are feeling better? Sit.
:02:44
Sit still a moment. You fainted.
:02:47
I... Im sorry I interruptedthe lecture so stupidly.
:02:50
You can get the notesfrom some other students.
:02:53
