Dear Physics at Berkeley,

Whoever posted this, please be aware there are about 5 billion people using the Internet now. This video might be seen by millions of them in the coming decades and more in centuries to come. That number, and what they gain, depends on you.

Please put captions that can be automatically translated into all human languages. The caption text is a magnet that will attract more and more people over time. It is self-selecting, and many of the people who were there, or who are connected might well want to review this permanent record.

What she said about seeing with the knowledge of basic physics is true of all human knowledge. It is nothing, if it is not shared globally, openly, completely, losslessly, and in a form that is IMMEDIATELY accessible to all humans. And in the not too far future, independent AIs as well.

Put links to all the people, encourage cooperation and collaborations, encourage communication.

Graduates, staff, family, the community of Berkeley: Challenge yourselves to do better, because the knowledge you find in the rest of your lives, might be the tiny pieces that help assure the survival of the human and related species, or catalyzes heliospheric and galactic exploration and development. And an Earth where all have fair and immediate access to all knowledge, in a form they can immediately use.
