I know you've all probably seen this before, but it still amazes me every time I see it.  |

It's a good reminder to people that the world doesn't revolve around them.

Humans are significant. Even If this life is the only thing we have in the universe.
If this life is all we have then that means we are experiencing everything right now. Our heavens, our hells, and any enlightenment that we may pick up along the way. If you look at the bigger picture our lives are just one link in a long chain that stretches from the begging of time, and we will pass on the gift of life to offspring who will carry our legacies with them far into the future, and possibly into the outer reaches of the universe. Along the way our offspring may affect the universe in ways that we can even begin to imagine.
If we take the universe at face value then our lives become even more significant. If one of the other 20 million sperm had won the race to the egg we would not be here. In my case if I had been born 30 years earlier there is a good chance both me, and my mother die during birth. Every person we will ever see is special, and everything that has ever existed in the universe is connected to us in one way or another. Even the smallest action taken by a child may have implications we can not imagine.
Right now as far as we know we are the most significant things in the universe, and every person you see around you is just as important as you are. Out of everyone who has ever been, or will be the people we see now are the ones we will share the experience of life with. We learn from them. and they learn from us, and we all learn for those who came before us. When we are done we will pass on what we have learned to future generations, in hopes that humanity will better itself. Perhaps some day humanity will unlock the secrets of the universe, and achieve perfection.
Humans are still a very young species, and right now we are just starting to take our first baby steps into the universe around us. Who knows what wonders the universe holds, who know if we will ever find them. For all we know tomorrow all of humanity could be wiped from the face of the universe. All that we know right now is that we have life, and as long as we have life there is hope... Our ability to constantly improve ourselves, and our undying hope that someday we will archive something bigger and better is what makes humans significant.

That would explain why we haven't seen aliens yet--they're too busy visiting each other.

It's a good reminder to people that the world doesn't revolve around them. What'll blow your mind is when you find out that everything loops and the Earth is larger than that last sun! |

Dude, that was an awesome post! I dig stuff like that about the universe, but those pictures were new to me. It's amazing what is out there. Sadly, we will never ever be able to reach it, but something tells me there are things out there far beyond what we can even imagine of.

You were born 15 Billion years ago.
You are an expanding cosmic fireball.
You are the matter of the Universe alive and aware, and you are everywhere.
