Re: Gravitational lensing from HST

Damn, it’s a huge universe! I feel like the human race is so small when I see pictures like this of thousands of galaxies.

I do believe we, humans, are a rare part of these universe. We are a mall part of the universe that is self-aware of the universe that spawned us. I can’t imagine that only a minute fraction of all the matter in this universe is self-aware.

It’s sad that with so much real estate in this vast universe, that we continue to fight over this tiny speck of it. Of course, this tiny speck is the only friendly place with-in reach of us humans. But we are a clever race. We have proven we can survive off our tiny speck of matter. Perhaps we will even be clever enough to one day breach the vast distance between the star. Perhaps we will even be clever enough to make other tiny specks of matter friendly to us as well. Perhaps…but we have a lot of maturing to do as a race before that can happen.
