Ill be answering the prompt about what keeps me up at night.

Late at night is when I start the thinking that can't be done in the day. The kind of thinking where you begin to feel a little sad. A lot of things keep me up, but nothing more so than thinking about space. Space is big. The idea that it can go on forever is scary to say the least. Also, the fact that nobody can in theory proves that it goes on forever is equally scary because that would mean beyond the edge of space their is nothingness and possibly other dimensions. And even if it doesn't go on forever, nobody can fathom just how big it is. A recent study found that there are over a trillion galaxies. That means one trillion places like the Milky Way. Not only does that give you perspective on how big it is, but also it leads into the life on other planets debate. With that many galaxies, the odds aren't impossible. Maybe one day scientists can prove that aliens exist. If i was better at math, I would definitely pursue a field in astronomy.
