A Perspective on the Universe

23 Jan 2024

•    It is big, very big.
•    It is incomprehensible.
•    We do not know how long it has been here. 
•    We don’t know how it was formed.
•    We will continue to make scientific guesses about how it was formed, but they will remain theories. 
•    We probably never will know how it was formed.
•    What we do know is infinitesimally small compared to what we don’t know.
•    One hour spent gazing into and meditating upon a star studded sky will make you a better, softer, more humble person. 
•    Contemplating a photo from the Hubble telescope will leave you feeling contingent and small.
•    Once you realize that you are very small, you then realize that even though there are 8 billion of us, the collective “us” is also very small.
•    The universe is awesome.
•    The universe is humbling.
•    We must be very special.
