i just find it really weird that there is no fixed ground. the planet Earth is moving through space, at an arbitrary velocity, depending on what you compare it to. if you push hard enough, you can make the earth’s speed change, in fact you could even split the planet up into pieces. there is no fixed, absolute ground. it’s not even “turtles all the way down”. if you dig down deep enough, you get out the other side, and there’s just nothingness. it’s so weird that we’re all built on nothingness. we’re excitations of the void. in fact, nothing can ever be kept constant because there’s no fixed ground to anchor it on. we’re like a dream that’s constantly volatile, always evolving, in fact we cannot even stop time right now at all.

    Just remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving

    And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour

    It’s orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it’s reckoned

    A sun that is the source of all our power

    The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see

    Are moving at a million miles a day

    In an outer spiral arm at forty thousand miles an hour

    Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way

    Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars

    It’s a hundred thousand light years side to side

    It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light years thick

    But out by us, it’s just three thousand light years wide

    We’re thirty thousand light years from galactic central point

    We go round every two hundred million years

    And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions

    In this amazing and expanding universe…

    Well I mean it could be turtles all the way down.

    But yeah isnt it wild that everything is basically in a suspended net with each other and that each little vibration technically impacts the whole thing even if it is so small it is hard to notice? We are all trapped in here together, even the planets and stars we see. Holding onto each other as much as they can to not just drift apart.
