A bit of a meta comment: I love when wikipedia articles are posted to HN, I always click on them as I know they will be interesting. On one of the recent wikipedia article posts (Glacier Mice I believe) someone commented that there should be a bluesky bot that collects and posts these so I (well Claude..) made one!
It puts everything in perspective, although not sure if the best one, can be overwhelming and ie many religious people tune out since there are no clear answers they were conditioned from childhood to expect, its hard to find god in endless universe with protons decayed for example.
Its easy to feel that everything is meaningless on long/large enough scale, even if we decide to annihilate Earth, or whole Solar system, or entire Milky way somehow. Universe will continue its dance from sub-quarks to largest filaments of galaxies unaffected and end state is as inevitable as the fact that tomorrow will happen.
