What is this big room we’re in, and who put us here? What is that bright yellow circle on the ceiling and where does it go every night? Where does the ocean end and what happens when you get there? Where are all the dead people now that they’re not here anymore? Awesome read, thanks for the link.Emerging from a 3.6-billion-year dream, life on Earth had its first questions.
That was a great read. I really liked how idealistic but grounded it managed to be. It gave the amazing sense that the author was an excited kid who grew up to be an excited science-fan/journalist. Like someone who had started wanting to be skeptical for work but then saw all the changes going around and wants to believe so hard and was so happy when he found the science was there to back it up. Beautiful.
