What do you all think all this comes from? To me personally it always baffles me with wonder. I think of the analogy of a mouse living in a cage. Do they actually even realize they are inside a cage? Inside a world constructed by some other being?
What baffles me is that the explanation of reality is too complex for our brains to grasp. Same as to how the mouse will never be able to understand they live in a cage (or even the concept of a cage?) no matter the knowledge we throw at them.
It reminds me there is still so much to explore, although the threshold for exploring is so high.
For context, I mean in comparison to earth. Consider that only 500+ years ago civilizations were discovering new land masses with unique flora and fauna. Discoveries that fundamentally changed the entire world as they knew out. Those sorts of discoveries are gone and that's rather depressing.
But that is virtually nothing compared to the wonders out there in space. Unfortunately much of it is destined to be barren, unlike earth, and travel is kind of an unsolvable problem at the moment and perhaps forever. But the potential is unfathomable.

Such an incredible concept.
