To reach out into and cross this mind-absorbing empty black abyss means tools and abilities implying that if alien intelligent life would arrive on Earth we maybe would be as much capable to recognise it as such like an ant is able to recognise the human as a superior being that puts its foot on the rock right beside it.

What is out there, is just empty space. And when you look at the subatomic level, you again find only empty space. That leads to the interesting question of what we then can be ourselves.

Do not stare too long into the abyss, else the abyss sooner or later starts to stare back at you. Cosmology and astronomy I have come to find to be cathartic and horrifying at the same time.
