Every level of magnification shows a smaller world with its own cities, mountains, and wastelands. There is a world of ants, a world of microbes, a world of subatomic particles, like this could go on forever. None of them can perceive much less comprehend the world of humans. So here we are, looking at stars saying that is as big as it gets, there is nothing bigger than a universe of stars because we can’t see anything beyond it, as we look down on all those little worlds unaware of us. And right now there could be a dust mite on an eyelash saying that is as big as it gets, there is nothing bigger than an eyelash, because it goes on forever and you can’t see anything beyond it. What are the odds that the largest system of organization just happens to be the exact largest size that we can perceive? Maybe some bored energy giant with a microscope just poked a star to make it go nova, or tweaked our ionosphere to drop a lightning bolt on someone to see what happens. And it doesn’t matter. We can’t communicate with him any more than microbes can with us, and now he has some important energy giant stuff to do for the next billion years anyway. They are all busy with stuff that exists at their own scale. Busy as ants.
