L'homme sur le banc:
I love to watch the stars. It's one of those simple things that gives me a small idea of infinity, along with some grandiose poetry at the same time. Did you know the Earth revolves around the sun at 110,000 km an hour? And as the entire solar system revolves at 800,000 km an hour around the centre of the Milky Way, we are now moving one million km an hour through space without realizing it. If the stars all exploded now, we'd see the first burst in four and a half years, and the others gradually over billions of years, in the time it takes the images to reach us. If our sun disintegrated, we'd have to wait eight minutes before seeing it. You think we're alone in the universe? But do you realise, we're the only living beings in our solar system. But the other sun closest to us is four and a half light years away, or more simply, four thousand million billion kilometers. At the speed of 50 km a second, it's the speed of our space probes. It would take us at best 25,000 years to reach the closest possibly inhabited planet. Maybe there are secret doors that allow us to cross space and time in a flash.
