It's cool as hell that, in a universe where we'll likely have stars and planets being born for close to a hundred trillion years in total, we exist not even fourteen billion years into that period.
Like, there's going to be so many other people even after humanity is gone! Basically no matter what happens, whatever processes made it so that we get to exist have time to repeat thousands and thousands of times β and that's before you consider that there're already probably 200 sextillion stars out there right now!
But right here, right now, we exist, basically at the beginning of the universe. If the Stelliferous Era is an eight hour long party, we're four seconds into it.
