Cosmos existed before us and would exist after us. What it also does so very well is offer a sense of clarity, focus and calm to anyone who stares into the depth of it with an open mind. These cosmic megastructures form a bridge between heaven and earth. It’s a realm - pure and unstained by the moral ambiguity of human affairs. Like Carl Sagan rightly quoted “We are a way for the cosmos to know itself”

It took 13.8 billion years of cosmic history for the first human beings to arise, and we did so relatively recently: just 300,000 years ago. 99.998% of the time that passed since the Big Bang had no human beings at all; our entire species has only existed for the most recent 0.002% of the Universe. Yet, in that short time, we’ve managed to (almost) figure out the entire cosmic story that led to our existence. Fortunately, the story won’t end with us, as it’s still being written.
