Liona said seriously: “You think that everything in the world has no fate, and everything is my fate, but I can’t help it, but have you ever thought about it, as small as a gravel, as large as the entire universe, are using own set of rules to continue. The more you look at the operation of the world, the more it’s fate is unchangeable!”
Zhiyu immediately asked: “Mom, tell me, what is the lifespan of a gravel? It may stay in the desert, become a member of thousands of gravel, or sink into the river, or be carried into the sea by the river. , It is more likely to be made into a piece of glass by humans and mixed into a piece of concrete by humans. Does the fate count for every gravel?”
Liona shook her head and said: “I just said that fate should be viewed from a macro perspective, and must not be considered from a micro perspective.”
“If you use a microscopic perspective, you will feel that the gravel is very small and not worth mentioning. There are so many gravel in the world, and it is impossible to plan a different destiny for each gravel.”
“But do you know how many stars are like the sun in the universe?”
Zhiyu looked blank.
Liona said earnestly: “Little girl, if you look at it from a microscopic view, you always feel that the gravel is too small to be worth mentioning, but if you look at it from a macroscopic view, you will find that even if the entire earth, in the entire universe, it is just like gravel. , Not even as good as a gravel.”
After all, Liona continued: “Don’t you young people like to talk about science? Then I can tell you that there are about two trillion galaxies in the observable range and educated speculation range in the universe. You can hear clearly, It’s two trillion!”
“And every galaxy has at least hundreds of billions or even trillions of stars. The sun is just one of the hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way. In the entire galaxy, the sun is so ordinary that it cannot be extraordinary. In the entire universe, the sun Not as good as a gravel on the earth.”
“The stars in the universe like the sun add up more than the gravel on the earth, but you think there is too much gravel, so a small gravel is not worthy of life. Then I ask you, one is more A star that is a hundred times larger than the earth is just a cosmic gravel in the universe. Is it worthy of life?”
Liona’s words made Zhiyu as if struck by lightning, and he couldn’t say a word.
She had never used such a perspective to understand the whole world. She just tried to think about the entire macro universe in her mind, and she immediately felt her insignificance and ignorance.
If the sun is just the gravel in the universe, then the earth can only be counted as a cosmic dust.
If human beings are so small that they need to live in cosmic dust, then what are human beings?
How much of the so-called science that humans can detect in this cosmic dust can represent everything in the world, the universe?
