It's sometimes easy to look at the vastness of the Universe and see it as wasted space or unseen beauty. Of course this is a very human viewpoint and probably a faulty one. Who says it isn't being used or seen by someone else? I think we here on earth are fortunate just to be aware of our Universe and its beauty and complexity. The shear size is difficult to grasp but equally so is the fact that Human existence is a quick blink of an eye in its time frame.

I think it's a nice Universe.

Once you realize and accept that the universe is nothing expanding into something, then you can wear stripes with plaid without fear of repercussions.
