When I look at the stars, and all the rest that we usually see on a clear night and at the right time of year, I mostly see the past and any future - for us as a species, and perhaps for any other lifeforms - and obviously our insignificance although we still don't know if this is so. After all, we could be the first intelligent life - unlikely, but possible - and if so, then the future probably is out there in space for humans and what we might become. So our insignificance might not truly be such....I marvel at how insignificant I am. And, it's a good thing.
What do you find fascinating about your life in comparison to the universe?
The immensity of the universe, only partially seen, is mirrored by the reverse when confronting the size of the smallest particles, with humans here to observe and notice such. Which is a rather splendid position to be in - and a testimony to our intelligence and work I feel - so that too comes whilst gazing at the stars.
