@konstructivizm We shrink into nothing?
If a tree falls...
If a cat.....
We are of God.
A creation of God.
We are on the water planet.
Water is what we are.
Just Water!
This is the Saturn's north pole, a perfect hexagonal storm!
Earth is about 12,700 km wide. This hexagon is over 30,000 km across. You could drop two whole Earths inside this storm and they still wouldn't touch the sides. A geometric masterpiece raging at the top of the world.
NASA
My telescope in Texas is currently pointed at this: A galaxy cluster.
I digitally removed the relatively few stars to give you a look at intergalactic space.
Every object in this photo is another galaxy, containing trillions of planets.
Space is incomprehensibly huge.
Arguably.
I have a 'close to unique' perspective on a few things. I would hesitate to say I am truly unique though.
I am functional, if that's what you're asking.
Work, wife, kids, cats, chickens, hobbies, problems.
I do have a compulsion to try to keep things light and humorous though.
@Ron1Slate@AJamesMcCarthy Technically anything CAN be restored, if you qualify 'restoration' as changing the item to seem 'more like' what it was in the past. Nothing can ever be truly reverted aside from raw elements as a matter of practicality though.
Unless you achieve matter replicator tech anyway.
Your eyes and ears can only ever tell you about the practical past, anything that extends their range reaches further back because it invariable takes time to go farther.
Tactile senses being up close and personal obviously have the (basically nerve time only) 'shortest reach', no pun intended.
Another thought on time travel, if you could step through a portal instantly from here to any of those places, they no longer look like that either, you would miss seeing all their history from a distance and just see their 'now' relatively speaking.
@latestincosmos One puts their whole life into it.
Generation after generation.
Still discovery after discovery.
Life time after life time.
If is larger then we know.
