Horizons
During my trip to Kenedy Space Center last December, I saw a sentence that I couldn’t forget (well, I might’ve forgottten the exact words but the meaning is essentially the same): “The horizon of man is infinity.” Obviously, horizon being referred to is the “range of perception or experience” (definition of horizon taken from www.m-w.com).
If there is no limit to what we can learn in the universe, will it even matter that we gain this amount of knowledge and experience? Will we be able to gain the knowledge soon enough to live past the end of the world or are we just going to fade away?
If we survive, what will be past the end? Will we survive the next “end” and one after that…? If we fade away, will we be leaving marks or legacies of our existence? Will these be even found or understood by another being in the universe? Will our mark be of any use to these beings? Are there other beings at all?
The questions just go on and on…Well, I guess sooner or later we will be able to answer all these questions. However, by then, I guess we will have other questions to answer.
