Are we a speck on this planet?

And if they're telling you that there is no room for housing development lying a****, but it is a national park. You know how that goes. I think there are some housings built inside the grand Canyon, but they were there before it became a national park. But, yeah, the federal government owns the grand Canyon. So, yeah, it's not like you can build any homes or any civilization throughout the grand canyon. You can and if you want to

It's only there temporarily until the wind blows it away or the water wipes it clean. And for that brief period of time, we have that beautiful piece of art. And I feel like each human, we are a part of the mosaic, the mandala, whatever. You want to look at the entire snapshot in time of existence on this planet. We're here for this brief blip. And just to be a part of that and then to be gone

But I just wanted to give an example of how big the Grand Canyon is and how much space we still have on this Earth. And you have to also remember what surrounds the Grand Canyon. We still have a lot of vegetation. We also have a lot of desert, including we have modern technology where we can somewhat TerraForm. Well, we actually do have the tools of TerraForm, but do we have the money? It's very expensive, but we do kind of TerraForm the Earth

You? Yes, I'm familiar with this, actually. I believe Vsauce did an episode on a particular topic of this. He's a YouTuber, and it's interesting, and I think Christina had pointed this out. We are specs in terms of the universe, the observable universe at that. It is so, so astronomically massive and monolithic that, yes, we are indeed just tiny, tiny specks of matter, but we have, for our tininess, have created through waste in other means

Space is still expanding. It's still growing, so man, that is no wonder why we haven't discovered aliens or why aliens haven't discovered us. We are probably microscopic. If we're out here in the universe, we are, like, unseeable. Now, we're probably not that small. I don't know, who knows? We probably are that small for how vast it is. But I do believe one of these days we will discover alien

Whoa. That's a lot of d*** people. You know, you hear those numbers or you see them or you read them in different places, but then to hear, like, man, there's a whole bunch of us out on this whole doggone universe, isn't it?

Hey, Hersisu, thank you for thank you for replying to this post. Yes, there is a lot of room on this Earth. I think once we get to the technology that is needed to terrify the planning it we do have the tools, but they're still too expensive. But I do wonder how will we TerraForm certain areas on the planet that needs to be terraformed?
