What the fuck is space?

Actually the universe is not cooling, its heating. As energy in the various forms is being converted into it. Kinetic energy is converted through friction into heat. Light is absorbed by matter and converted into heat. This will go on until all things in the universe are in the exact same form of energy and at the exact same level of energy. This is called entropy or chaos. Matter cannot be created nor destroyed, nor can energy. Also, we as humans define ourselves from other humans, and from other organisms. We do this by means of religion, race, species, place of origin etc. But the reality is, no matter how much we try to be different from each other, we are all made up from the same stuff. We are all made up of the remnants of a star or many stars that exploded long ago. Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and every other multi-electron atom that makes up our bodies, the planet, and the universe would simply not exist if not for that star exploding. For that I thank that star or those stars for quite literally exploding so that I may sit here today. Keep asking the big questions, and keep seeking the big answers.
