The universe and our place in it.

I'm fascinated by the universe and how we managed to understand part of it.
We live in the "middle world" of meters and kilometers per hour. Yet we discovered the huge expanses of the cosmos and the tiny world of sub-atomic particles, as show in this Powers of 10 movie.
When we can see thousands of galaxies in a tiny patch of sky with The Hubble Deep Field I find it infinitely arrogant to think the universe has any interest in the activity of a specie of hairless apes that evolved on a small planet, circling an unremarkable star among billions of stars in a galaxy among billions of galaxies in the universe. Keeping the scale, imagine a huge beach with all the sand on our planet, and you pick up one tiny grain of sand and compare it to the rest of the beach. That is our sun compared to the rest of the universe.
I hope someday people understand that we live on a Pale Blue Dot which we must handle with care and on which we make our own future.
