Takeaway 12

I find the universe interesting.  Like mind-blowingly interesting.  Just think, we are tiny, minuscule ants compared to the vast size that is the universe.  The massive rock we live in that is floating through space around a giant ball of molten stuff is just a grain of sand in the grand scheme of things.  There is no way that we are the only living things in our universe; but we aren't advanced (or ever will be) enough to be able to conduct deep space exploration.  Other life forms could be out there, doing their alien things, and we would never know unless they wanted to make contact with us first.  And to be honest, I don't think they would want to ever make contact with us.  If they have the technology and knowledge to discover us from millions of lightyears away, they would be too advanced.  To them, we would be a very primitive species.  It's crazy to try and wrap my head around just how massive our universe is; but it's impossible to do that.  There's no way our human mind could ever comprehend how large the universe is.  There's just no way.

Some astrophysicists even believe that there is a multiverse.  That there are more universes out there outside of ours.  We will never know in the near or distant future unless we develop a technology to see past the edge of our universe.  It's just not possible with what we have right now.

I don't know what's out there.  It's trippy to think about all of this, really, but I just find it so damn interesting to think about.
