![]() ![]() 1000 years ago Europe was going through its Dark Ages. Columbus discovered America about 500 years ago. That means that a human would have to live 13,333,333 (Thirteen million, three-hundred thirty-three thousand, three-hundred and thirty-three) lifetimes in order to have lived a billion years. America was established only around 230 years ago. For human beings, it is hard to grasp the concept of how long a billion years is. The universe is said to be around 13 to 15 billion years old. The Earth is said to be around 4.5 billion years old. Life has existed long before the human species came into existence and will exist long after the human species has gone extinct. With what seems like infinite possibilities in the universe, there are an infinite number of chances for life to develop and thrive. There are only four elements that are needed for life to start forming and those are Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen. It is safe to assume that in other areas of the universe, there are elements that we have never even heard of. It might be safe to live in that comfort zone of yours, but the reality is that the Universe is so vast, with billions of years of existence, and an abundance of materials necessary for life, that life elsewhere must exist. It might be the best and most safest way to live as you really do not need to know the truth. Ignorance is bliss and it is best for you to continue living your life comfortably. If you continue thinking that none of it is real and that human beings are the only sentient being that exists in all of the known and unknown universe, than you are living the way the United States government and even religion wants you to live. The Twilight Zone could have been inspired by any of these events. You might think this is all something out of a science fiction movie such as Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy or something from The Twilight Zone. If you think that we are alone in the Universe, you are wrong. The views of this article are the perspective of the author and may not be reflective of Confessions of the Professions.
