It's comforting to know that everything is temporary...;-) 'Raindrops keep falling on my head...' |
The vastness of the Universe and its abundance of potentially habitable planets raises the question: why haven't we come across any signs of advanced extraterrestrial life? This is known as the Fermi Paradox, a scientific puzzle that remains unanswered despite the billions of stars in our galaxy and beyond. | |||
Since the Renaissance, scientific discoveries have continuously challenged human perceptions of significance. The Copernican revolution shifted the idea of humanity from the center of the universe, while subsequent findings revealed our insignificance in the grand scheme of things. The geological timescale, evolutionary connections to other species, and our minuscule place in the vast galaxy all contributed to humbling revelations. The advent of relativity and quantum mechanics further emphasized the disconnect between human perception and the true nature of the world. | |||
There may be no gods or aliens, and the universe may seem meaningless, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to accomplish things. As the ancient Roman saying goes, "Life is Short, Death is Long," reminding us to make the most of our time before it slips away. ....and beware of tricksters. |
