1)the moving of molecules from a place of high atmospheric pressure to a place of low atmospheric pressure due to attraction between the molecules

2) the void of space has no wind moran

3)yes, the univers is slated to die in some sort of heat death where all energy becaomes destabilized, but then its supposed to kind of kick start itself into another big bang don't you watch futurama?

1) yes, its a miniscule side effect

2) it does

3) we are as sure about that as we were that the universe expansion couldn't possibly be accelerating no more than 5 years ago. "Duh - oh nm then"

you are every moment a mask defined by your social and economic conditions, navigating the world in pure survival mode and perpetuating the conditions that create your masks. you most likely have formed ideological or philosophical justifications and value systems that reinforce these masks as your "identity," any deviation from norm classified as psychiatric disorder or mental aberration, and the gaping void of existential despair that rebels against the conditions that force you to act out your expected role in the world is your true self, flailing blindly and grasping at air for meaning in a meaningless world


in short, you're gay op

no no, it was well beyond this bs , im pretty well adjusted in these respects

I mean physically, literally, who am I. I was seeing the road while driving a car. A road? Car? It's incredible to be thinking these things at all based on what we truly are, but it also makes me wonder if we're all incredibly unintelligent too. I mean how would we know. An ant doesn't have the capacity to understand the world as a human can see it. The universe is so ridiculously huge and complex (to us) that it is likely we're just inherently incapable of understanding it

we need to design a computer to comprehend everything that cant go wrong

We are all made of stardust so there is no difference between you and what you see. Different expressions of the same underlying spinning/vibrating subatomic stuff. So eat a sammich and enjoy the ride

i like to think eventually the atoms I used throughout my life will be engulfed by our dying sun and turned into light energy and zoom off I go through the universe

gently caress you nasa i win

What waits for you?

Nothing.

Absolute nothing. Not even darkness. The absence of darkness. The absence of everything.

You realize in a place that you never really knew you had inside of you, that you've known the nothingness was always there. Waiting. Lurking behind the scenes. Behind every turn never taken, behind every unopened door. It's been there. And it's hungry.

The worst, most horrifying realization is that now that you've seen it, you'll always know it's there. That it's waiting for you.

It calls to you, and you want to go.

this kind of sounds like something someone made up instead of the truth

We are atoms and atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons, though it's hard to say the electron actually exists since it doesn't really inhabit physical space in the manner we think of, but sure, it's there, and protons and neutrons are made up of quarks which "change color" constantly and exchange "virtual particles" with each other and it is the "color" combinations of these quarks that represent the fundamental foundation of our reality. For now - until we find out String Theory is accurate, or some other theory.

As collections of trillions and trillions of atoms, we exist as "conscious" life forms residing on a planet spinning around a a dwarf star that in turn spins around the center of a galaxy containing 300 billion and more other stars with planets and moons, and this galaxy in turn spins around a shared point in space with the galaxy Andromeda, which contains 300 billion and more stars, and together, along with dozens of smaller galaxies, we orbit and even more distant point in space that is shared with hundreds of other galaxies, which, in turn, orbit other collections of galaxies, so on and such until there are clouds, great sheets and knots and oceans of galaxies in orbit with each other, and this great sea - our Universe of billions and billions of galaxies - might be just an atom in a larger multiverse.


And yet, you've still got road rage.

Im pretty chill on the road. I secretly am proud of this
