Funny, just today I was thinking about how we're all specks moving around on an orbiting speck fueled by a star which is a relative speck. (noemo)
This sort of stuff blows my mind/freaks me out. Quality.

That is depressing to me.
I really have a legitimate dream to go into space, either as a tourist or a billionaire-adventurist. I don't ever want to come back. Even if the oxygen tank runs out as I pass Jupiter, just let me go.
It's depressing to me how insignificant we are, but seemingly our presence and events seem so grand. She's having a baby, he's the new president, genocide and famine there. And after the years of realizing our position in the universe, after the years of realizing we are free to break out of our atmosphere, we have half a robotic Tonka truck on Mars.
Seeing that we are very small shows the vastness of the universe because it enforces the idea that we are not significant, most of our lives do not change the world. This also leads us to the idea that life will go on without us because we will come back via reincarnation.

But he is right , our brain just cant comprehend how big our universe is.
Just like watching baywatch when i was younger , my brain couldnt comprehend how big pamela andersons were.

But science never actually proves anything at all, and nor does it claim to. I think the obvious problems physics has with satisfactorily explaining the universe emphasises that our understanding of the universe is not proven. They are only theories, theories that have yet to be reconciled.
Science clearly thinks that the universe has other levels we cannot observe, because it's drawing up hypothetical ones such as string theory and multiple dimensions.

Well it's still possible they don't but highly unlikely.

Indeed, and that's because it is located in the constellation known as the "greater dog" who, along with smaller dog-named star constellations accompanies Orion.
