Mindblowing Scale of the Universe and Endless Thoughts
Date: May 23, 2022 (Monday)
Have you seen the video showing a view on how big our universe is?
I was scrolling through YT when I saw a video showing the zoomed out view of the universe.
The video started showing a girl smiling and then going far and far until it has reached outer space and the different links around it, then finally showing the universe. And not just that, it also shows a visualization of multiverses.
Isn't it mindblowing to see a visualization of the scale of the universe?
After seeing such thing, I instantly thought that I was like a dust on earth or even just a small particle in the air if I were to imagine myself being on the universe.
Usually, especially these days, I'm more likely to think on how hard life is, and how I will be able to overcome the problems that I have as I journey in this world.
For instance, I always thought that my problems are so big to handle. I have in mind how unfortunate I am to carry a lot of burden that I feel like I'm alone in this world. Howbeit, after seeing and syncing in my mind how big the universe is, it seems like my problems feel shy on making themselves feel like they're big enough. I mean, capturing how big universe makes me feel like I'm just a dot from somewhere.
Don't get me wrong, I have learned about all these Science stuff when I was still studying, but then I can't seem to visualize how big it was before really, and with that, my interest about it then dimmed out focusing my thoughts on other aspects of life. But how jawdropping life could be to light up my curiosity once again; wondering on thoughts about the universe once more.
Seeing how big the universe is, I have extracted thoughts in my mind. These are some of the endless questions that wander in my mind freely.
How does the other living creatures in the universe look like?
I think it's pretty safe to assume that there are other living creatures in our universe. I guess it's impossible that out of all the galaxies in the universe, we are the only ones living here alive. For sure, there exist other creatures too that are just around the universe roaming freely and left being unraveled. Perhaps, they even don't know that we exist in someway.
Have you thought of the same thing?
Nevertheless, thinking about all these stuff ignited something in my heart to dig deeper on this stuff. I believe that learning further on stuff like this would be quite hard for myself as I am far cry from being a genius and it's hard to ingest all the facts available, but I'd be willing to somehow dig the crust part of it hoping that I'll be able to learn more and discover more about this universe that we're living.
Just so you know, I also wonder if what the other creatures look like, or do they look like us in someway, or not. I have a lot of questions in mind, and I'm just left wondering because even until now, no one knows what exactly they are or where they are resided in our universe.
Back When I Was Young
Now, this takes me back to my thoughts back when I was a child. Looking back, even if I was so young, I could still recall how fond I was looking at the sky and wondering what lies beyond it. I have thoughts that perhaps flying horses exists there in someway, or UFO as what my brother used to tell me. With the vast imagination that I have, I can't help but imagine so much stuff that in someway, I wanted to see in my naked eyes how it feels like to be there, up above the sky and beyond it.
Moreover, when I reached grade school, that's when I started to learn about Astronomy. I started to unravel about the outer space and celestial bodies. The stars and the moon which I thought were just dots in the sky, turned out so big when viewed outside Earth. I was in awe with these thoughts a lot. A lot of things pop up in my mind and a lot of mysteries in my head left unsolved until I continue my life's journey and forget about them all since I was too busy learning the nitty-gritty of life.
Universe versus Humans
How big the universe is and how tiny humans are. Howbeit, when I try to reflect on the universe and human beings, it seems like we, human beings, have our own universe too. I mean, we are consists of different systems; there are a lot of stuff that's going on inside us. Given that, I guess we also have our own universe too. Universe that may not be related to Astronomy, but universe that made us verily.
Conclusion
The universe is just so fascinating to think of. It makes us think and wonder what lies ahead of us. If only we have the power to really explore the totality of the universe and know the accurate nitty-gritty of it, perhaps these questions we have in mind will be flatten out and will be given some answers that we need.
However, our technology can't still explore its totality though. But I believe that in the future generation that they will be able to come up with a more advanced technology to do so.
For now, I am truly grateful to have seen a visualization of the universe as I am truly in great awe.
How about you? What's that one question that keeps on running in your mind about the universe we are living in?

By the way, a big thanks to my dear friend @Lucifer01 for the renewal of support for me. I appreciate it a lot my friend.
The question that comes to my mind is, if other creatures were to be found, would they think like us? Would they look like us? What if they are human beings and their world is like ours? These questions are literally so scary haha.
