The scale of the universe is depressing.
Edit: because I feel that were stuck here for now. If Voyager took 40 years to exit our solar system. And solar system in galaxies and galaxies in the universe...
It's a good thing I'm too busy being poor to be concerned about interstellar travel.
It is mind blowing though... Way to quote pale blue dot... Everything we have ever known...
- noobermin 9y agoAt least you're not a paramecium, or an ant, or a dog, or a mollusk, or an electron. You have self-awareness which is something many things on many scales do not have. Not to mention, you can speak English (world's most used langauge), and have an internet connection. Hopefully, you make end's meet, and aren't starving in the street. Even on the scale of other sentient beings, things are all relative.
- ge96 9y agoHahaha hey man it's my right to complain. I just went to whole foods, live in a first world country. I do wonder is it better not to know. Yeah I could be a paramecium under a slide in some high school biology class.
