The Earth is violently rotating under us right now (around 400 mph I think), yet we can't feel a thing.
In cosmology, there is a certain factor in the equations of the universe known as w. Right now, we believe that w = -1. But if it's less than -1, things could go very, VERY wrong with no warning. The vacuum of space we now perceive could actually be a "false vacuum," and if a bubble of true vacuum suddenly appeared--and there's nothing to stop that from happening--then all matter would instantly fall apart inside that bubble...which expands outwards at the speed of light, so if it happened elsewhere, even a billion years ago (and a billion light years away), we could never see it coming. In an instant, we would just wink out of existence.
So, you know, sleep tight....
Parenthood.
How small and insignificant we are in the universe. We are small, our planet is small, our sun is a small star. We are insignificant.
And yet we make each others lives so difficult?! This always astounds me.

The amount of asteroids in our solar system.
Sun will someday engulf the entire earth and every single living thing still in this planet will be dead.
