When you think the universe was made solely for us, a picture like that should put you back in the right mindset. |
Why? If you believe that we are amazing organisms with brains that are vastly more complex than anything else we see in the universe, why should the fact that the Earth will look tiny from a distance make you feel insignificant? |

| Pale Blue Dot is such a boring, uninspiring read. I suppose reading about the atmospheres on other planets is pretty cool, but I'm reading the book now and I'm really not enjoying it. I think I expected some more profound, intelligent views after hearing Dawkins rave about it so much. |
