What’s The Point Of Looking To The Stars

sometimes we wonder what could have been

and live in our alternate reality

but would things really have been better?

why do we dwell on what could have been when the entire future is in our control

I can’t wait to be a Scientist one day and get in an argument with someone and be like “well my research shows this” and then they’ll dispute my research and I’ll cry

In many ways it’s the ultimate question in natural science: How does our universe work? Is there a fundamental theory? An incredible amount has been figured out about physics over the past few hundred years. But even with everything that’s been done—and it’s very impressive—we still, after all this time, don’t have a truly fundamental theory of physics.

assuming the voyager spacecrafts immediately did a 180 at the same velocity and ignoring all concepts of trajectory, the voyager spacecrafts would take ~40 years to get back to earth.

the voyager spacecrafts wouldn’t be able to survive reentry and so we would have to orchestrate a huge mission where we send up astronauts to “catch” the probes and bring them back to earth. i would watch the hell out of that movie.

An old friend just returned to us

i would kill to be there

to feel the shaking of the earth

as we strap our best and brightest onto a barely controlled explosion

to send them into a void devoid of life

I wish you happiness, one day you'll find the right one / You're a queen, you deserve to be treated like one / Vacation for the mind every time I go to light one / Karma is a bitch, I'm well aware one day it might come
