Here we are specks zooming around in circles around the earth’s axis at some 500mph at this latitude. Hurtling through our solar system at 107,000 km/hr, and travelling with our sun at 70,000 km/hr relative to nearby stars. Drifting through wider space at 1.3 million mph.
There are over 100 million stars in the milky way and estimates of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in the universe.
If we are interested in the eternal survival of the species we should probably try to spawn ouselves onto another spinning rock somewhere anyway.
In 1884, a school teacher wrote...
This Work is Dedicated
By a Humble Native of Flatland
In the Hope that
Even as he was Initiated into the Mysteries
Of THREE Dimensions
Having been previously conversant
With ONLY TWO
So the citizens of that Celestial Region
May aspire yet higher and higher
To the Secrets of FOUR FIVE OR EVEN SIX Dimensions
Thereby contributing
To the Enlargement of THE IMAGINATION
And the possible Development
Of that most rare and excellent Gift of MODESTY
Among the Superior Races
Of SOLID HUMANITY
