The known universe
Truly mind boggling movie clip. I once heard a Swedish astrophysicist at MIT reflect about space and humanity’s seemingly total irrelevance in the great big universe. He said that it was quite common amongst space scholars to at one point or another become a bit sad over the fact that we are so small and know so little and that the time we are alive is so short it could truly be called a “fart in space”. But, he said, lately he had begun to believe that there maybe isn’t that much intelligent life in space after all, and that we humans-if we don’t mess up our planet before we succeed-might in fact carry forward the species that will eventually colonize space and make large parts of the universe sparkle with life where there before was none. If he’s right, we are not carriers of such small a significance in the great big unknown after all.
