    I usually think about how the sun will swallow the earth, having destroyed life as we know it long before that moment. Which is fortunate, because otherwise in the end we’d have to deal with an universe devoid of all light and warmth, as white dwarfs slowly dim, black holes fade away into nothingness and perhaps even protons decay.

    In the big picture everything we do is ultimately utterly meaningless.
