We aren't special.
Quote from: Nexus on November 09, 2014, 08:22:04 AMWe aren't special.I would argue that on the scale of the universe in the manner he's talking about, we aren't. The universe did, does, and will do everything he mentioned. Hottest temperature at the start. Coldest at the end. Starts endure for an almost inconcievable amount of time. All of our achievments are small and short lived, almost nothing when compared to the clockwork design around us.But, we are special in that we create. We have the capacity to reach out around us and alter the world based off intangible thoughts that have roughly no physical form. In essence, through nothing, we create something. And we are special in that we're alive and that we have a little more rattling around in our heads.

Hottest temperature at the start. Coldest at the end. We are the universe, in a way, so perhaps everything I just said is pointless. But the fact is we have done it, and the universe that isn't us likely won't do it until its heat death.
The bit about harnessing star power, is that really a thing?If we could do that, surely we'd have nigh infinite energy.

Do they have their own bus like you do? Exactly.

We are able to master the powers that stars use to burn tirelessly for billions of years.

Harnessing energy through solar panels is hardly mastery, that is like kindergarden level shit.
