Rolig Loon Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 1 hour ago, Gopi Passiflora said: North America Earth Solar System Orion Arm Milky Way Galaxy Local Group Virgo Supercluster Laniakea Supercluster Universe That sounds like the dialog at the end of Act 1 in Thornton Wilder's Our Town: It's foreshadowing what Emily realizes by the end of the play, that the universe and human existence are much greater than most people appreciate: “We all know that something is eternal. And it ain’t houses and it ain’t names, and it ain’t earth, and it ain’t even the stars . . . everybody knows in their bones that something is eternal, and that something has to do with human beings. All the greatest people ever lived have been telling us that for five thousand years and yet you’d be surprised how people are always losing hold of it. There’s something way down deep that’s eternal about every human being.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said to myself, Did you just make that up Mr weather man? At the time it just sounded like he made up the word so he didn't have to go into the details.. hehehe 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazing at other worlds with my first telescope drove that grandness deep into my bones. But, those expanding experiences revealed something else. I don't see humans in general or me in particular as having much significance on the grandest scale. Still, there is a scale at which we and eventually I are significant. That's pretty neat, and enough for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty neat, and enough for me. I recall seeing some very questionable (to me) information in the late 80's about a single "photon" (proton?) IIRC, that is somehow part of us and sticks with us through our lives. Don't recall if it supposedly came from part of our zygote. Ennywho, that was supposebly eternal. lulz.
