[H+ No.3300982]

We are a single hydrogen atom in a Star. The Earth-Moon system, that is.

Also:

You are one person out of 7 billion people on one planet out of 8 planets in one star system out of 400 billion star systems in one galaxy out of a 100 billion galaxies in the visible universe.

And you are enormously insignificant.

This line splits the universe in half.

All life is the same. Humans are not special. Don't let your emotions misguide you.

well i kinda disagree, im looking at things in terms of numbers... because there are were and will be so many more of us 1 means nowt. however endandgered shit should be treated as such

[Anonymous No.3301060]

[Anonymous No.3301062]

>>3301050

i.e humans are not special, other species that dont replicate like fuck and completely dominate any environment they colonise are special

[Anonymous No.3301064]

>mfw people can't use multiplication to visualize the size of the universe.

Universe is 8.8*10^26 meters

You are just under 2 meters tall.

5*2=10

10 sets of 10 is 100
100 sets of 100 is 10^4
10^4 sets of 10^4 is 10^8
10^8 sets of 10^8 is 10^16
10^8 sets of 10^16 is 10^24
100 sets of 10^24 is 10^26

Do you see where I'm going with this? You've now visualized the size of the universe with the help of a super-genius more intelligent than you.

You're welcome /sci/.

wtf, no. they're not anymore special. objectively or absolutely there is no value to be made. But humans are special to humans, obviously. Or else ethics wouldn't exist.

[Anonymous No.3301242]

mfw this thread.

[Anonymous No.3301244]

>>3301232
in addition, you cannot separate Humans and the universe. Humans are part of the universe. No they're are just a part of it. they ARE it. So if humans say something inscribe value. That's the universe telling itself, something is or isn't special. The only thing to accept is that it must be special or not

[Anonymous No.3301255]

>>3301244
sorry fucked that up a bit. I should conclude by saying that value judgement are no more less real than anything else.

Ergo you're 'nothing is special' or nihilism in general (not saying you're a nihilist) is silly

[Anonymous No.3302276]

I'm gonna stick my neck out an say, it really is impossible to have any real conception of the time of the universe.

Our brains are not wired to comprehend that kind of scale, it just had no evolutionary value to say, "Well, the plane of existence of which we live is about 999,999,999,999 centillion earths wide."
