"Aren't you afraid of what is happening in the universe? Surely, you are not afraid at all. But believe me, I am afraid. First of all, I am very afraid that we are living on 'Earth', and Earth is in space; there is space in every direction—front, back, left, right, up, and down. However, the fear is not from the fact that there is space around Earth, but from the fact that the Earth is in constant motion. Our sun is constantly racing with the Milky Way galaxy, but not only that; it is also rotating around itself. If one day it suddenly stops, nothing will remain. Nothing at all. Everything on Earth will be in space, and the Earth will be inside the sun. Space is extremely cold and dark; although this may not happen, the fear always remains. In addition to that, the fear of space rocks has always existed. At first, we did not even know where these space rocks came from. But now we know where they are 'located' in our 'solar system'. Sometimes scientists also say that our Earth might be inside a black hole. This is also something to be afraid of—that we are alone, and if we are not alone, where is that 'creature'? And how far away is it?
If we are alone, it is frightening for the reason that the universe is infinitely large. We are in a desert where there is nothing around. Even if we try continuously for ten thousand generations, we still cannot escape this desert; we are badly stuck. Even if we could reach the speed of light, it would still be difficult to escape. In fact, it is impossible.
The sun is located approximately 149 million kilometers away from our Earth. And this distance is covered by these particles, known as 'photons', in just eight minutes and 20 seconds. These particles make seven orbits around the Earth in one second. This gives you an idea of how speedy these particles are. But there is also helplessness here. At this time, there are no scientists and engineers in the world who can build a spaceship or rocket that can achieve this speed or even half of it, because the highest speed is that of light.
In the universe, the star 'DB12 5055' is so large that if these photons, which can make seven orbits around the Earth in one second, were to orbit around the BD 12 5055 star, it would take seven hours to complete just one full orbit. Believe me, our sun is like a 'chicken egg' compared to this star, just as the 'moon' is. If we compare the Earth to BD 12 5055, then approximately 5.1 billion times 1.3 million 'Earths' can easily fit inside it. But this star is not the largest star in the universe; there are even larger stars than this in the universe. The larger star is Uy Scuti, which was considered the largest star in the universe until 2019. Its radius is 1700 times larger than our sun. This star is so large that if we were able to build a 'spacecraft' that travels at the speed of light, which means covering a distance of about 300,000 kilometers in one second, it would still take eight hours to make one orbit around this 'Uy Scuti' star, while this spacecraft would complete one orbit around our sun in 14 seconds. You can estimate for yourself how much larger this star is compared to the sun. This star is located 5100 light-years away from us.
But this star also has a father called Stephenson 2-18. In front of it, Uy Scuti has no significance. It is such a large star that approximately ten billion suns can fit inside it, while the sun can fit 1.3 million Earths. This means that approximately ten billion times 1.3 million Earths can fit inside the Stephenson 2-18 star. However, this is not surprising. What is surprising is that there are trillions of such stars in the universe. Stephenson 2-18 is located 2000 light-years away from our Earth. In front of the stars that Uy Scuti cannot match, what significance does our Earth hold?
