You see this handful of sand? Could you imagine counting every grain? Could you imagine how many grains of sand there are on this entire planet?

Our best estimate is that for every grain of sand here on earth, there are 10,000 stars in the universe.

It is probably more likely that we don’t really exist than to think that there isn’t other life out there somewhere, or was, or will be, or all of the above.

Now with that being said, your red hat looks stupid on you, but in the big scheme of things you barely exist.

(This is why I don’t get invited places.)
