Cosmic Realization
A light year is the distance light can travel in one calendar year. The next closest star to the sun, to our solar system is 4.2 light years away. That star and the sun are part of a galaxy made up of 100 billion stars. That galaxy is one of 100 billion in the known universe which is only five percent of the entire universe (that is the rest of the universe that does not reflect or emit light.)
Think about this the next time you throw up on someone's shoes and pass out in a bush after drinking too much at a party.
Please note the error of my facts because I would like this to be more accurate... or read this haiku.
I sure love robots
but not enough to do math
math is for big nerds
