Universe: Equals All of U, N, I, and Beyond Skin-Edges

I We may imagine 7-10 billion humans are too numerous for individual significance. Wrong. II Our solar system has one sun-star that fuels many planets, all of earths life III UNIverse really includes all of time, space, stars, voids, mass/energy, the cosmic web .... IV The limits of light years (LY) can be surpassed by infrared radiation as a measure; a multiverse likely lies beyond our current LY and "particle horizons." V Reversing the perspective ... Time-space "sees" 7-10 billion human-stars rather limited resources, valued, making each one COUNT NOTES: 1. There may be 400 billion stars in The Milky Way galaxy; yet it's minuscule compared to the enormity of all of what we call universe 2. The diameter of the universe may be 93 billion Light Years (LY in diameter). Guestimates say the universe has 2-10 trillion galaxies & about 1 septillian stars in all. Add voids, and electrons, gases, sub atomic particles AND the cosmic scale can hardly be imagined. So even 9 or 59 billion humans are not too many to be valued in and by the universe ( hiding in micro - and - macro-universe). 3. Simplest translation: the human skin is not a limit or edge, but a porous net to catch, do osmosis with, interact with the biggest environment we will ever experience. 4. The human-being is a "device" for time travel with timespace. For instance, we see Alpha Centauri's light at NOT in "real time" (but as it began leaving 4.5 years ago) and that's just our nearest neighbor. Light from stars is PAST, began arriving our way LY ago. Shalom Starlight Siblings!
