"Go out on a dark night, preferably away from a city, and look up at the stars. The number of stars you can see is a literally incalculable fraction of how many stars exist in the universe. In the darkness between Alpha and Beta Centaurii there are more stars, too distant for us to perceive unaided, than there are people on the earth; in a square inch, more stars than all the heartbeats in your life, and the life of everyone you love. In one hundred years, you and your loved one will lie in your graves, your tombstone the only memory of your names. In one thousand years, the greatest achievements of our generation will be forgotten. In one million years, the stars will continue their inward spiral, and no one will observe them. Humanity will pass unnoticed and unremembered."
