Would be good to see people spending more time wishing each other well and doing good deeds while being here for a blip of time on a cosmic scale of things instead of being focused on the negatives.



Philosophically speaking, perhaps the “great reset”, our universe included, ensures a fresh start, no matter what has evolved and in case things get out of control.

The beauty of CCC is that it tames infinity...which is beautifully illustrated by the Escher drawing...Space Time has a video illustrating with the “circle limit angels and demons” drawing how infinity is not incompatible with a boundary. It is this whole boundary stuff that allows Sir Roger Penrose to work his Conformal magic (once again oversimplified).

We are all made of star stuff, forged in supernovae and neutron star collisions and we, humankind on this pale blue dot suspended in spacetime, represent indeed but a blip in the bigger scheme of things. But how magnificent it is we can ask questions, find answers, discover and be marvelled by what is unveiled and revealed. And that we have an opportunity to give life a meaning and to be kind to our fellow planet dwellers.

Well put Jacques. Thanks for the video link.
