      Or you can take the exact opposite viewpoint: The universe is immense, but you, me and every single person ever alive have been trapped in the smallest, tiniest, minuscule dust particle so infinitely small that it could disappear any moment and nothing else would change at all. All humans are right now crammed together in an itty-bitty piece of rubble that might or might not be the only, last and single safe spot to life in an infinitely deadly void without boundaries. And we still have no safe way out of here. We're trapped. We're all forever be trapped. And the more time passes, the further and further away everything else will become. In a very relativistic sense, there's no difference between the universe getting larger, and us becoming smaller and smaller every second it passes. 😈

      quite the opposite because you are still trapped inside the reach of earth. calustrophobia is mostly about freedom of movement, just like fear of height is mostly about surface to stand on rather than the actual height. you can be claustrophobic inside a cealed off stadium, or fear of height on a narrow pole 5 meters above surface.

    If you're ever feeling insignificant in the face of such vastness, just remember we, as well as all things on our planet have direct connections to the wider universe. We're literally made from star dust. We all have a piece of the universe within us. We were born from the stars and thus we will return to the stars when it is our time. We are the universe.

    Your story reminds me when I went to Israel for the first time and we as a group slept out in the desert one night. Our tour guide took us on a walk for about a mile at night and we were smack in the middle of a desert alone, told us to all find some private space, sit down and look up at the stars and just think. Be there in the moment and reflect on whatever you wish. I cannot describe to you how insane and powerful the stars looked in a true night sky with the cool desert wind blowing and hearing the sand moving across itself. It was so peaceful, quiet, and mesmerizing. It will be a moment in time I will never forget.

    Not quite Chicago, but when I was real little my great grandfather would push me out on a stroller in Taylorville Illinois and show me the constellations. He was an Italian immigrants and WWII airforce pilot (for the US don't worry) and he said they had a saying that I'm gonna do my best to spell out here "Trova le dissovente tra la stelle" Which roughly means "Find the fade beyond the stars" Unlike most people who grew up speaking 2 languages I'm bad at both and don't learn new ones well at all. 4 years of French and I only remember how to ask for sex. Anyway way point being was even in a universe with a seemingly infinite amount of stars who's light seems overwhelming there's still always a place or opportunity for someone to become a star themselves and create a light all their own without blending in to other.
    Also as a numbers person who just always liked space a lot of these numbers are still crazier then most people think. Like a single AU is 93 million miles. I don't even like walking the 0.01 miles from my couch to my fridge. But then even the difference between just a million and a billion I don't think people recognize. You live a million seconds in your first week of life, you don't live a billion seconds until your 30s. Somewhere in 32 or 33 I believe. I forget. The craziest thing ever and you can Google this it's a less than a minute read. I in my college economics class however many years ago was taught the Staircase analogy. This ties in well to the Bezos comment. If you measure any individuals net worth in increments of 500 thousand I think it was. Maybe it was 50 thousand. I just woke up don't judge, I've got tired brain. 99% of american is on the first or maybe struggling to get on the second step, but then a billionaire is on the I think 11th. And then Jeff Bezo is so high it doesn't even make sense to use steps anymore but miles. And Bezos is as high as 24 consecutive mount Everest. Numbers be wild.
    Edit: I felt in my gut something was off and my numbers on the staircase were way wrong. It's the upper middle class average American that gets to the 11th step and a billionaire is on the ten thousandth step. Tire brain strikes again. Not gonna change it though, I made my choice lol.

If life can evolve on our one tiny planet, why not others. We wouldn't know otherwise, how in the world could we? Used to love gazing up at the stars when I was younger, growing up in rural Wisconsin I could actually see quite a few.

    Rather than being amazed at how much we don’t know.. I’m always equally amazed at what we do know.. Our galaxy shape, the Virgo super cluster, and the number and size of the observable universe.. Humans stand apart from all other life on earth because of our urge to learn and discover.. We have come a long way. As for whether there is life out there.. my feelings are, it would be harder for life NOT to be out there. Life finds away, we simply cannot be a fluke, a one off.. The universe is teeming with life. Question is, will we ever know about it?

In Voyager they get lost by 70,000 light years and they have Warp 10 which is supposedly 10 times the speed of light. But somehow traveling through space takes THEM time to get to places which is just isnt true. Even at light speed, they should reach other places instantaneously due to time dilation. At the end they reach home with hardly any years gone by on Earth which simply isnt true. Even at light speed, it would take those on board the ship less than 1 second to reach Earth, but Earth would be 70,000yrs older!! At 10 times Light speed, Earth is 7000yrs older!

    The Universe itself is just amazing in general. The fact that we consider travel from Earth to Mars a major and incredibly difficult journey to accomplish, and yet compared to the rest of the Observable Universe, the distance is absolutely laughable in comparison. Just to think that even if we were able to travel to any planet in the Universe instantaneously from this day, and we would not need anything to survive (food, water, oxygen, etc.), it's highly unlikely that we'd even manage to travel to every single planet or even solar systems out there before the End of the Universe.

    the entire quote from Carl Sagan:
    "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
    The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
    Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
    The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
    It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
