    Did it ever kinda freak you out the fact that we live on a ball of rock floating in infinity?
    But i suppose what other way would it be.

    That is deep man, I don't think I am even able to understand what you're asking tbh. Earth is an interesting place it's true. A very, very interesting place.

    The whole concept of the universe is mind boggling.
    Like if you went to the beach and picked up a grain of sand and imagined it as planet earth with so much life on it.
    Tis all fairly wacky.

    Thats gravity for ya-being round is the end result of that law. The law of gravity is mind boggling, whats the cause of gravity is a question to back up yours? People are confident they know it all about these things but when you ask a childs quetion like where does it come from or how did it start we're stuck lol! At least they're honest i suppose!

    Oh gawd you have given me vertigo. The thought of falling through infinity is only made worse when you think about all the stuff that may fall on top of you.

    I need to go and lie down and pull the covers over my head now.:pac:
