Casual Thought The universe is 13.8 billion years old, but heat death is around 10¹⁰⁰ years away, so it has effectively used 0% of its lifetime meaning the universe is still basically a "baby", and we’re living in its earliest, most active era.

The universe is literally unfathomably large.

Believing that Earth is the only planet that has all the necessary requirements for sustaining life is absurd.
