>yfw the entire Earth can be destroyed by a random cosmic event

Some random cosmic hiccup, and all of Earth can be destroyed. Perhaps the Sun explodes and the whole solar system gets destroyed. All of the Earth in ash clouds, all its history, culture, heritage gone forever. Everything we humans have built up for hundreds of thousands of years vanished, just like that. Every story every living person has, lost into space.

Our mark on the Moon and Mars, destroyed. We will cease to exist, and perhaps no one in the universe will now we ever existed, what we did, what we achieved. That is implying we aren't alone

If we are alone, that is equally frightening. Perhaps in billions of years, life forms will evolve again, intelligent life forms, who will also ponder over the universe and its existance. They may never know about us.

Everything we have ever known can be destroyed, and in the cosmic scale, it would just be a small particle of dust being crushed. In that small particle is all our history and culture

It is quite scary actually
