Dear Astrophile
When Carl Sagan first said that astronomy is a humbling subject, and that pale blue dot is nothing but a speck of dust suspended in sunbeam, something’s felt a little insignificant, but why is it that your loss feels so personal.
I want to take a moment to celebrate your life. You were so full of life, I couldn’t help but admire your passion towards the moon, and each example you drew from the universe you hid some secrets about life. How despite having so many phases the moon shows up each night.
They say you liked Quantum physics, and I can’t help but wonder, you too,wanted answers to the most fundamental yet puzzling questions. I’m sure you thought of superposition, and I think I solved how you could be in two places at once, one where you broke down reality and the other where you were the universe experiencing itself.
I know nothing with absolute certainty, but we’re just a 0.7 on the Kardashev scale, did the Drake’s equation compel you to think more? Or were you as lost with the Fermi paradox.Maybe not knowing enough is what excited you the most.
I never knew you personally but I can see how fondly you loved the stars, but tell me how did the universe bottle so much wonder into your soul. Wherever you are in this multiverse I’m sure you’re having conversations about Galileo, about life and philosophy. How we can intertwine philosophy,science and religion.
How can I forget, you were a dancer too, everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.
