    Henry explains that Earth is a microscopic planet compared to the size of Jupiter and the Sun, and that the Sun itself is relatively small compared to other stars in the universe. He notes that there are stars billions of times larger than the Sun, and that every star belongs to a galaxy containing hundreds of billions of stars. While the universe contains trillions of galaxies and superclusters across vast expanses, the reality is that space is mostly empty, dark, and silent - and from this perspective, humanity is an insignificant accident in the grand scheme of the universe.

    Another Revolution by Jaqueline Bircher

    Henry: I don't consider it because we're not important. This planet is... microscopic,
    really. It's not even the largest in our solar system. That's Jupiter, 12 hundred times our
    size. And then the sun... you could fit 1.3 million Earths inside our sun. And that's
    puny. The runt of the litter, as far as stars go. There are stars that are billions of times
    larger and denser than our sun. Blue giants. Red giants. Red supergiants. And every
    star belongs to a galaxy, which can contain hundreds of billions of stars. And that's just
    one galaxy. There are trillions of galaxies and superclusters of galaxies spread across
    an expanding and possibly infinite universe. And that makes it sound very exciting and
    crowded, but in reality space is just a lot of… space. Dark, silent, empty space that
    extends for trillions of light years. And we are nothing but an interesting and unusual but
    minuscule accident that is entirely insignificant in the vast expanse of space and time.
