But I've never seen the highway, city center, subway and many streets under water here. It doesn't really happen here, WTF🤔

I'm really fascinated sometimes what you can see in the night sky and when you consider how small and tiny we are unbelievable


I also like to watch documentaries about the universe and recently it was explained how we see its past when looking at an object in the sky, e.g. a star

For example, let's say we see a bright star that is light years away, say 10 years, then what we see there is the image from 10 years ago, which means that even if the star implodes now, we would only see this in 10 years' time (not considering other effects from a purely optical point of view)

I think it's awesome to think that we have these seemingly infinite expanses or the black holes, what happens when you land somewhere else and where are the aliens, it's presumptuous to believe that you are alone in this gigantic universe

These are all things I could spend days thinking about

I used to listen to Harald Lesch a lot to fall asleep, partly because of the soothing voice, but I can't stand the guy anymore. Now I listen to other videos or podcasts about quantum entanglement. Also very fascinating. I'm honestly surprised that no aliens have appeared yet given the size of the universe we've been led to believe. However, we don't know what's true, whether the images are real or fake, whether an AI is generating wonderful, colorful star systems or whether it's actually real. In theory, it should actually be the case - because of the light years of distance - that you can see into the past when you look at a star. And when you sit on your garden chair at night and think about it, the whole thing becomes so big and incomprehensible and fascinating that you are happy to suddenly discover a little bug on the ground that has just fallen over and that you can put back on its feet. That grounds you again. The pragmatism of a speck of dust in a vast universe.

Although they would probably be so far advanced that the question would no longer arise. It all seems very unreal. Also how the universe expands. Is it expanding openly outwards or is there a kind of circle? Which also has no end and is therefore infinite. If there were then repetitions ... and bang! you're in parallel universes. I once had contact with a Spanish astrophysicist. He wrote in an email that the astrophysicists of the future would inevitably have to become smarter and smarter, or that this would be a prerequisite, because otherwise the findings would no longer be comprehensible and science would be stuck.

I don't understand anything It's not that warm where you are - about seven degrees less this afternoon than here - and besides, you aired out well, I thought
