Ha! Today I learned from that German Terra X video that our observable universe gets smaller and smaller as the universe expands and the rate of expansion also increases. Pretty cool and wild.

Since there was a discussion about aliens the other day, with the above information, my personal theory is that getting in touch with any other life forms also gets slimmer and slimmer over time. If it weren’t already so extremely unlikely to begin with. I’m absolutely convinced that there are others out there somewhere. Tons of them. Because why wouldn’t there? We’re not special at all (except especially stupid). But with the enormous distances we’ll never get in contact. Just too far apart. And now spaces separate even further.

@prologic@twtxt.net agreed, one look at our TikTok generation and they’re outta here

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org What she says there at the end has mindboggling consequences:

Creatures that live in the distant future will have no way of knowing that there’s anything but their own galaxy. 😳 No idea of the big bang, nothing.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, interesting, I somehow missed that part! That’s crazy!
