Fun fact;

Yet all this energy and electromagnetic phenomena
from our very limited vantage point and experiments
feels like it bathes everything as it decays gradually
in slow motion, one rung at a time, towards entropy,
zooming down an exponential thermodynamic curve
that aims and trends towards zero, beyond our view,
beyond the horizon, touching infinity itself.
And here's the craziest part: the space itself where
this is all taking place, is accelerating its' expansion.

The more you zoom out, the more you realize how insignificant we are. I've heard a lot of people realized this when they saw "The Pale Blue Dot" photograph of earth, but I had to have the perspective of time to realize it. We are nothing, not even a spit in the sea.
