It’s a reminder that we are so small compared to the larger mysterious universe filled with worlds and possible life elsewhere where people are having ongoing problems too. It’s a reminder that death is not only in our world but also out in the darkness of space. Even these large planets and suns eventually die and new ones are born and life continues.

I wanted to create a short of an alien team aboard their spaceship picking up a reading for a nuclear anomaly in an area that is not notice by those species who space travel. So they get excited thinking that a species has recently discovered teleportation or travel beyond the speed of light. But when the get here, nothing... then they focus on the land mass where the reading of the first burst happen then a flash of light. With horror they realize what this precious energy is being used for... they are so depressed and label our solar system a 'danger zone' for other more advanced cultures to be warned. And one of them remarks "I've seen this type of thing before. They won't last more than 100 cycles around their sun before they destroy themselves, and good riddance the universe needs to be spared from such destructive/conquering creatures." Then they leave.

Something about the idea that you will live forever in some paradise dulls the experience of life. Once you come to terms with that it's not forever, you'll begin living. Religious people have said to me my life must be empty and have no purpose. How wrong they are. And how ironic that is. Some guy stumbling through life under the haze of religious hypnotism who thinks some god is watching and judging every move he makes saying my life is shit. Yeah, right.

But we are exceedingly good at understanding our tiny slice of reality, because that's what our brains were made for.

      Check this out bro if you like science try it out! Its like a spoiler book that tells you what’s happening now and future! Also Surah Dhariyat Miraculous Verse
      As per Quran, the word heaven refer to what lies above the Earth. ... This phrase thus means “We expand the sky or the universe to a great extent.” This is the outcome that science has arrived today, and the Quran mentioned such a fact centuries before the invention of the first telescope.

      Но таинственный свет, Воплотиться палитрой эмоций,
      Миллионами лет,
      Нёс с собою секрет,
      Самых теплых на свете желаний, Ароматный букет,
      Оставляет завет,
      Проникая в моё подсознание,
      Пчёлы любят нектар,
      Это плата за дар,
      Размножения цветов опылением,
      В звёздном танце пульсар, Кружит в вальсе квазар, Вдохновляя своим излучением.

      @@vume7722 well based on current science teleportation would be impossible with human beings, due to our intricate make up on the atomic level we would need to dismantle our physical matter into something capable of moving through spacetime without speed limits then our device would need to re-construct ourselves on the other side keeping all of our consciousness and memory intact. any physical matter is limited by the speed of light, only photons and maybe other theoretical massless particles can match or bypass light speed. so the only foreseeable option to our current science to move our matter through space faster than light would be wormholes, which at that point if we are transporting our bodies through small wormhole devices then we might aswell just use them with spaceships instead of risking dismantling our physical matter through atomic teleportation. which currently we dont even have the science know how to make wormholes. but as all science in the past has shown, the science of today is nothing more than a stepping stone for the science of tomorrow. who knows what new discoveries we will make that will unlock all new possibilities of space, physics and time.

      Manipulating the fabric of space seems to require extreme mass and speed, indeed we can not have the mass of photons,which I think have a mass its just that we don't have small numbers to work it out, mass-less particle could be able to teleport , hence you mention shredding of matter to sub atomic particles, so it can not be filtered by the fabric of space it just pass trough instead of being bound by it, ultimately breaking the light speed barrier, the possibility of the cosmic web we becoming riddled with holes ( wormholes) is plausible.
