The consequence of time
Clouded thoughts exist as we drift into the darkness of the Earth from the Sun. Was the Earth destroyed by meteorites, asteroids or something else? Was our Solar System and the Milky Way created by being sucked into a blackhole only to spew out into our current understanding of what exists? You would imagine blackholes were there in space to protect our universe from anything dangerous or going to destroy what is out there, almost like a vacuum cleaner of space. Perhaps there is something in the vacuum of space equalling the void. Once, planets and stars, expire they could be causing too much of a vacuum. The known universe as we know it must have existed prior to all we know about the stars and the Solar System surrounding us. You are made to feel Earth is simply an historic memory of some universe gone by. We may not exist at all and in general spacetime we do not exist but existence is not the important idea. Lightyears pass and continue the universe as we know it continuing for eternity but Earth was only one brief moment and existed for a second only to be filed into the history of the universe. For example, human beings are an example of the universe, we exist as a product of the universe existing, the summation of all that has ever been and all that is going to exist is in every human being on Earth. The formation of Earth would be the same as its destruction and both events would produce more planets, stars and meteorites like volcanoes producing mountains. So, with the fiery understanding of the beginning of the universe you will find its end and then its beginning again ad infinitum. The time animation or suspension feels as though we are looking at the remnants of the beginning of the Solar System by looking at the stars in the Milky Way and they are somehow encoded with all the universe contains like scripture sent by God but already suspended in the sky. The Earth must have disappeared only to reappear because of the width of lightyears in space across the Solar System, Milky Way, the heavens and Earth. How may lightyears across is Earth if you measured the Earth by its depth? The answer is the human being. Human beings are the consequence of time.
