The Significance of Human Life When Compared to the Vastness of the Universe

Compared to the vastness of the universe, the meaning of human life has not yet come up with meaning of life Many people and religions have various ideas and opinions, but so far the "true" meaning is There is none. If I do not know why we are here, how can we make an impact? And as long as we do not do something, it is not as important as many people think. The current state of global warming shows how destructive the human life is; it also shows the effect of daily activities.

If you think that things are chiefly coincidental, the laws of the universe, physics, general life, even human life do not have universal meaning. In other words, human thought and action has limited meaning. In the overall picture, one thought and action is the same as another thought or action. Does the universe have a purpose? Obviously, is there a possible answer? You may think that there are no goals or desirable goals in the universe besides the goals that residents have chosen to establish and pursue. Another way is to believe that there are several objectives: an intentional agent is either to create the universe according to the plan or to "take" the universe, but in any case they will have some sort of I want to have a process or final state.

Is there life in the universe? Before I knew how big the universe was, that is, before contemporary astronomy appeared, this problem has brought trouble to humankind. With the development of the modern telescope, radio astronomy and the space observatory, much effort has been paid to find extraterrestrial information (ETI) in the 20th century. However, humans only know the wise civilization of the universe - our own civilization. The best thing we can do is to guess the possibility of their existence until we really discover the alien civilization. This is a famous Drake equation, which is named after astronomer Dr. Frank Drake. This equation was developed in the 1960's and is based on a number of factors to estimate the number of civilizations that may exist there.

After Apollo and the Hubble telescope, we face the paradox of our greatest achievement. We humans entered the moon, staring at the universe of huge, old-fashioned universe, two billion galaxies of over 100 billion light-years. As shown in the picture of Apollo 8 above, the darkness of the universe shows that the existence of humans has no self-evident meaning or purpose. This brings the greatest intellectual challenge to humans: to build human goals and meanings within our vast and small range within our existing external things. Pseudoscience and Apollo conspiracy theorists have no answer to this challenge
