In this deeply contemplative episode, Henrik takes us on an intimate exploration of what it means to exist in a universe full of wonder.

Beginning with a characteristically self-deprecating introduction, he gently unfolds into a profound meditation on the nature of reality, touching everything from the dark matter holding galaxies together (much like the invisible bonds of family) to the poetic act of kissing coins before surrendering them to the Baltic Sea.

Through his unique perspective as a Swedish actor-turned-podcaster, Henrik weaves together childhood memories of mysterious mining shafts in Dalecarlia with cosmic musings about photons and the speed of light.

His stream-of-consciousness style creates a hypnotic tapestry where personal history mingles with scientific wonder, all delivered in his distinctive non-native English that somehow adds an extra layer of authenticity to his philosophical wanderings.

The episode takes unexpected turns through the underwater world of forgotten objects, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and the humble magnificence of fungi and bacteria.

Henrik's genuine enthusiasm for existence itself becomes contagious as he lists the things that make up our reality, from the cosmic to the mundane, each treated with equal reverence and wonder.
