What is usefulness of such a vast universe!!

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-02-16] [Hit: ]
As best we know so far, life may be an extremely rare occurrence in our vast universe, since we’ve yet to detect it anywhere but on our home planet. So as a species with a highly evolved moral sense, I believe that we should aim to ensure that the precious diversity of life forms with which we have co-evolved on Spaceship Earth is set to thrive into the distant future. Unfortunately,......

That said, here’s one use to which I put the vastness of our universe,inspired by ‘The View From The Centre of the Universe’ by cosmologist Joel R. Primack and cultural philosopher Nancy Ellen Abrams [2]. As best we know so far, life may be an extremely rare occurrence in our vast universe, since we’ve yet to detect it anywhere but on our home planet. So as a species with a highly evolved moral sense, I believe that we should aim to ensure that the precious diversity of life forms with which we have co-evolved on Spaceship Earth is set to thrive into the distant future. Unfortunately, quite the reverse is actually the case, as the “my species, right or wrong” attitude that holds the majority of humanity in its grip is helping human activity perpetrate the sixth mass extinction event in the 4 billion year history of life on Earth [3]. So I find the unique beauty and preciousness of our home world’s biodiversity in the midst of our vast universe to be a useful motivating factor in political activism aimed at conserving ecosystems and stemming our ecocidal destructiveness.

Hope that’s broadened your understanding, and given you some pointers for further exploration,

“The important thing is not to stop questioning; curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when contemplating the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of the mystery every day.” ~ Albert Einstein, ‘LIFE’ magazine, 02 May 1955

It keeps simple creatures, like us, endlessly guessing about it. After all, it'd be an awfully boring place if we actually did figure it all out. Come to think of it, sounds like a way to occupy some way more sophisticated intelligences too. After all, who wants to be bored for an eternity?
