Every single one of us is travelling through space on a tiny speck of dirt, circling a permanent explosion that doesn’t know how to stop itself at 30km/s.
That explosion and multiple specks of dirt besides our own dance around the center of the galaxy in a complex ballet with 200 billion other permanently exploding balls of fire and plasma, many of which are sizeably larger than ours and also have collected pieces of dirt circling around them, at a speed of 200km/s.
The center of this agglomeration of giant balls of fire and dirt is a… thing… that is in itself so massive it can’t help eating everything that comes near including suns, light, and the concept of time.
And there, travelling around the center of the galaxy at 200km/s, spiraling around your sun at 30km/s, there is you. And somehow you have to work tomorrow.
