And somehow I am stuck on this floating blue rock paying taxes.
I believe it is mathematically impossible that we are alone.
At that scale, everything we can imagine is out there
That is the thing... Nobody can picture this. It is genuinely beyond our capacity to comprehend, and it's very beautiful!
It's actually a great relief to me that the universe is so big. Knowing I'm so insignificant takes the pressure off immensely. All those little things we worry about mean nothing in the big picture.
Exactly 💯 The size of the universe is actually incomprehensible, no matter how hard you try
"2 possibilities exist: either we're alone in the universe, or we are not. Both are equally terrifying" - Arthur C. Clarke Edit: To those saying aliens do not exist due to the lack of proof: your logic is similar to saying there are no fish in the sea just because there are none in the cup of water you filled with the ocean. The ratio of the volume of the universe humanity has explored compared to the volume of the observable universe is less than that of the ratio of the dimensions of an atom to the dimensions of our planet
Cox is the kind of teacher I would have listened to in school. He’s a gem’
Brian Cox is the only person who can tell me not to worry about something and I won't worry about it
I could sit and listen to this man talk about his love for science and space for hours. Basically Attenborough of Space.
No matter what may be the size of the Universe - Some people think they are the Middle of it..and they never let you forget that.
Prof Brian Cox is such an amazing speaker. Down to earth person with nice soothing voice and calm demeanor that makes you want to listen.
If a single one of our cells was aware of its existence , our body would seem like an infinite universe to it, what if we are similarly something in an environment that is just one of billions of beings who are in turn existing in their equivalent ‘universe’ . Ok I’m putting down the joint now.
The human body has 37.2 trillion cells according to National Geographic. Size dimension is relative.

Based on this, there's no way we are the only bacteria to infest a planet.
If I weren’t so poor whilst simultaneously working every hour to keep a roof over my head that I don’t own, I’d like the time to study this more.
The fact that the universe even exists blows my mind
For perspective: A million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.
WE ARE NOT REALLY ALONE...WE ARE ALONE BECAUSE OF DISTANCE
