Our Place in the Universe
We are but a tiny speck in the vast and wondrous cosmos, a pale blue dot floating in the immensity of space. Our home, the planet Earth, is but a mere pixel in the grand canvas of the universe. Yet, despite our smallness, we possess a remarkable ability to explore, to discover, and to understand. Through the use of science and technology, we have been able to uncover some of the universe's deepest secrets, from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest galaxies.
As we gaze up at the night sky, we are filled with a sense of awe and wonder at the beauty and complexity of the universe. We are humbled by our place in this vast expanse, but also inspired by the endless possibilities that lie before us. In the words of the great astronomer Carl Sagan, "The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself." Let us continue to explore and discover, for it is in this quest for knowledge that we find our true place in the universe.

What is life? Is death real?
"So what is the difference between you and a rock? This seems like an easy, even stupid question. But even the smartest people on earth have no idea where to draw the line between living and dead things. Which leads to mind-blowing implications. What is life after all? And is death really a thing? Lets look into it together" - Kurzgesagt. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOCaacO8wus

Deciphering the vast scale of the universe
"One of the fundamental questions humanity has always asked is how big is our Universe? For much of human history, people believed that Planet Earth was the very center of the entire universe. And Earth is pretty big. But compared the rest of the universe, we are infinitesimally small" - PBS Spacetime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8rel2-kLJA
