This is meaningless, nothing about those numbers matters neither does it say anything conclusive about the nature of reality. It's just our best guess right now

This is meaningless, nothing about those numbers matters neither does it say anything conclusive about the nature of reality. It's just our best guess right now, and we are very early.
- Aperocky 4y agoI find this interesting about human nature, that is in the want to believe in something eternal. Even if current theory about Universe is proven correct, it will most likely have no effect whatsoever on current human lifetimes. But doesn't preclude us from wanting to believe that the universe is eternal and constant, that there will be flashes of life and activity 10^50 years down the line.
