I guess it's related to space, but size is what gets me. We have the enormity of galaxies (and of course the space between them) all the way down to atoms and quarks and whatever the frick is smaller than a quark.
Your dick.

I was sitting on the edge of a 8000 foot in elevation cliff looking into the panoramic distance. I reach for something in my backpack and notice I was sitting on an ancient sea bed of fossilized nautilus shells.
In that moment I realized my irrelevance in time.

Time is just shite that happens sequentially…space is a never ending explosion of everything in every direction.

The faster you move through one, the slower you move through the other. Our brains are not meant to comprehend space time.

Here’s some more for you.

Since you are reading this and not dead yet, you will always die now. Not in the future but in the now. You exist in the now and will die now.

And because the universe can only exist if there is someone to observe it — you will never die or the universe will die with you. So you won’t be missing anything.

And then there’s the idea of the multiverse with infinite worlds and possibilities but I’m too lazy to explain it to you mere mortals.

Plus I’m still trying to figure out how NIL works.

Imagine an empty room with dimensions of 12x12x12 and the space inside represents known Space. A fleck of dust in the room floating in the air would be comparable to the mass of a million milky way galaxies.

What if I told you they were really one thing called "spacetime?"

Space is just there not doing much and I can only be in one place in space. Time is a heartless bitch that is killing me one breath at a time.

When I was younger the relativity of space blew my mind but as I get older time does as well. People say you’re life goes quickly and I always think “compared to what?” If we lived 10,000 years people would say the exact same thing.

Let me introduce you to a book named, TIME TRAVEL IN EINSTEIN'S UNIVERSE by J. Richard Gott

I recommend not eating psychedelics the weekend after reading this book.

It's not the same rate of "relentless" everywhere in the universe. Move fast or get next to something supermassive and slow it down.
