I find great comfort in this perspective. My life on earth may be brief, compared to the Cosmos. But I am made of atoms forged in the fiery hearts of stars. When my time here is over, these atoms will remain, and I will remain part of the Cosmos.
"We are star stuff, which has taken its destiny into its own hands. Our own planet is only a tiny part of the vast cosmic tapestry, a starry fabric of worlds yet untold. Those worlds in space are as countless as all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the earth."

I love this quote.
She's not alone. For me, a night without starlight is worse than a day without sunlight! Ad astra!
I have been diagnosed with astrophilia.
A rare love & obsession with planets, stars & outer space. 🥰

Awesome interview! Worth a listen.
If "Interstellar" were made today, what might be different? Fun interview with Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne (@caltech.edu), science advisor to the film, on @scifri.bsky.social: www.sciencefriday.com/segments/10-... #physics #science #movies #Hollywood
If ‘Interstellar’ Were Made Today, What Would Be Different?
The science advisor for “Interstellar” discusses the film’s impact, and how new information about gravitational waves could have changed it.

As we advance in scientific knowledge and technology, this threat grows even more. More than anything, we need to educate society, both children and adults, in basic science. #STEM
"We've arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces."

It is our calling and our destiny to explore the unknown. It is intrinsic to our humanity.
