Afraid to get in close?

You gotta look a little closer.

Couldn't you get a little closer?

Actually, we should be together all the time.

So as soon as I tried to get near the piano,

but we try. And we try to get closer and closer.

We recently finished a study of this approach.

That is why I haven't even gone near the annex for days.

We can get within 200 yards of them.

Beauty and the beast, huh? That's it.

It's familiarizing ourselves with the present moment.

We can't get close to them, they are very high level giddy up ones.

When you are deep inside the night, you can't stop the night.

And then, that meat you used to love so, you can hardly touch it anymore.

This Solomon is more difficult to approach than the Pharaoh of Egypt.

But it only has to get close, about a billion miles away, one of these things.

I'm gonna put up some sensors. With those, we'll know if anything tries to get near.

They realized some wild animals were getting used to them.

Opposing counsel will please come closer to the bench... so that we can discuss this more privately.

I mean, who in their right mind would think that a dog would want to approach them when they're screaming like that?

But I think when it comes to factory robots, people are sort of afraid, because factory robots are dangerous to be around.

It would be like a near death experience where you see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it's a total death experience.

I think there are laws out there, and we of course don't understand them at any given time very well but we try. And we try to get closer and closer.

There's a sort of myth that black holes devour everything in the universe, but you actually have to get very close to fall in.

But even if we don't run across it in our lifetimes, we can still think there is one out there, and we're just trying to get closer and closer to it.

And I'm gonna try and do that within the 18 minute time span that we were told to stay within, and to follow the TED commandments that is, actually, something that creates a near death experience, but near death is good for creativity.

Now, it's often said that getting closer and closer to the fundamental laws by examining phenomena at low energies, and then higher energies, and then higher energies, or short distances, and then shorter distances, and then still shorter distances, and so on, is like peeling the skin of an onion.

Garik Israelian is a spectroscopist, studying the spectrum emitted by a star to figure out what it's made of and how it might behave. It's a rare and accessible look at this discipline, which may be coming close to finding a planet friendly to life.

Garlic is a common example, a branch of wild rose and hawthorn plant are said to harm vampires, and in Europe, sprinkling mustard seeds on the roof of a house was said to keep them away.
