In John Lloyd's Ted Talk about the invisible and visible, I was quite surprised to see how much there was in our world that we cannot see with the naked eye. For instance, the many galaxies in the night sky. Out of the 100 million galaxies, we can only see 5.
I also realized that many of the examples Lloyd used in his talk made connections to what we have learned in multiple classes. In ELA, we listened to a recorded story about a man by the name of Martin; whose body slowly began to shut down on him shortly after he turned 12 years old. Lloyd's talk included that even if we can't see anything inside a person, their thoughts could still be there. Meanwhile, in "The Locked-In Man", everyone considered Martin as a "vegetable". Everyone thought that there was nothing left inside him. The only things that determined that Martin was alive were his thoughts.

I as well was surprised to discover how much of our world we cannot see. I like how you compared Martin from "The Locked-In Man" to our world by saying that he didn't seem to be there physically but he was there in his thoughts.
