A comment on Talk: Richard Dawkins: Growing up in the universe

Jan 6 2011: enjoyable - I would have loved to have such a teacher in science!

The message that is standing out most to me is the call for awarenes for the wonders this universe has to offer, a call against falling asleep in the mediocrity and dullness of the mundane.

44:26 "this is because the principles of physics and chemistry are the same all over the universe"
IMO, this is a long shot - isn't there an underlying assumption
a) that the principles of physics and chemistry are known to science?
b) the same principles are valid for all other worlds out there?
Not long ago, I have heard a very convincing speech, given by a German philosopher, who was challenging these two assumptions.

A comment on Talk: Sebastian Seung: I am my connectome

Sep 30 2010: quote: "...and so the technology will finally help us to read miswiring of the brain, to see mental disorders in connectomes"

the question remains: what would one consider as the point of reference here - i.e. what would one refer to as a 'good wiring' of connectomes?
