Truer words have never been spoken.

That's how I am without being stoned. When I'm stoned I go off into tangents like, I'm on a floating rock hurdling through space - why am I worried of a relatively small rock (asteroid) colliding with earth when earth itself (relatively) is an asteroid compared to the size of other celestial objects in space and we (earth) can and probably will collide with something and that's it.

There's a planet or comet out there traveling near the speed of light that's going to show up over night in radar/tracking and then seconds later were just a blip of light.

If you imagine yourself looking down on earth then your in space. Imagine your self looking down on our galaxy and your in the universe. Imagine your self looking down on our universe and where are you? No where because that's what the universe expands into. The theory is that the universe expands into an empty void. I like to think about what that empty void is contained in. If you have a good imagination you end up doubling back thinking of what contains each segment (planets, galaxies, universes, nothing, ???), and essentially what contains the container. There are theories of multiverses and such with alternate realities.

Okay let's say that's true. They (multiple universes) exist in this huge body of nothing. Imagine yourself outside the nothing looking down on all of the universes. Where are you? 4th dimension. What's containing the 4th dimension? 5th dimension. Keep going and basically - what's containing the dimensions? What's containing that? How or dare I say why, does it even exist? .. Fuck now I'm in the loop.

"Because" said the atheist.

"God created us" said the religious.

How did god create himself then? He just decided that hey I'm going to have thought and now I exist and know everything so now we have existence? Hmm. How does god even know you exist then? If this is how shit is done with an infinite expansion into shit that shouldn't even exist I imagine god is being bullied by the bigger god who just created himself. Anyways enough about the safeguard of religion.

It can drive you crazy and I think that's why religion exists but in any event there is no reason we should even exist, there is no reason that the empty void the universe expands into should even exist... Life is fucking scary.
