End of the earth

thinking about the end of the world as we know it.

Yep something I learned about when I was a kid one day watching some fucking show. Actually it was in an astronomy book. I studied astronomy around the clock as a kid, wanted to be an astronaut.

Well, to my utter shock discovered that very smart people have figured out that the sun has a life span.

It will indeed burn out in about 5 billion years. So we have plenty of fucking time to figure out an escape plan...

Makes me horribly sad though about the outlook for the human species. It's like, REALLY? We can do all kinds of shit with our lives, but it won't amount to shit in the end, this world is doomed.

I mean truth be told if you study philosophy, everything is doomed. I don't think anything lasts forever anyway does it...

Even if we get off this planet and find another one to continue our species, guess what, that sun has a life span too.

I have to concede then that there's really only one answer to this question: accept it. There's no fighting it. just as we all have to accept that one day we'll grow old and die, we have to accept that in 5 billion years this planet will be no more and that's all for us and our species.

Very sad thing to say, sad thing to think about, sad notion to live with, just knowing that our lives are never going to really amount to much in the end.

I mean, not totally true, I'm damn sure the smartest white elite are figuring out how to live for eternity.

Eternity, is it even possible is the question... LOL what a fine and dandy idea to be able to find another earth, hang out there for another billion years before that sun explodes too, then just keep that whole thing going.

Not really. What the guys working on space travel are doing is basically trying to create all that shit you saw in star trek. Gene Roddenberry was WWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY ahead of his time with that show. Indeed, that show is exactly, really think about it, what we humans are hoping to accomplish some day. Just flying through space exploring different solar systems. Not really relying on one single planet.

Can it be done. I've been watching astronomy programs left and right and such and it's like, I yeah there are a lot of smart fucking guys working on how we can create space crafts that are fully self sufficient.

I dare say it will happen one day. All throughout my childhood I've seen lots of movies about space ships in space completely self reliant and not depending on any outside resources.

So most likely we'll build something like that one day and get it going. If indeed we can simply fly through space for decades and decades without needing to refresh supplies, there's no doubt that we'll survive beyond the limitations of this planet.

We'll get it done, have to. I look at life and see it so small, so restricted. Life's about fucking figuring out the next stage for humanity, not simply relishing the here and now.

It's like, when you really think about it, we should have never gone to the moon. We wanted to accomplish it, and figured out how it's done, but look at what it meant in the end, NOTHING. We gained nothing from the millions of dollars spent on that project. Fucking got some badass moon rocks didn't we, but not much else.

So I'm hesitant to suggest we go find a new fucking planet, what's the point of that really? Going to hang out on it and do what? Lord knows. This universe is still too GIGANTIC for us humans to comprehend and perhaps we can't ever comprehend it, perhaps we shouldn't.

Not saying I'm a lazy fuck, but I think to myself live simple. Don't get embroiled in too much heated mess in this fucking world. I'd like peace and quiet, thank you very much.
