    Except we could apply this reasoning to things that actually matter and are valuable to us. Things we do and care about might not matter at the scale of the galaxy we are in but they can still matter to us.

    Mosr people seem to struggle with the idea of an indifferent universe.

    I find comfort in knowing that all the constructs people take so hilariously seriously will be wiped clean like they never even happened.

    It’s particularly useful when dealing with annoying A types.

    Last time I checked, universe does not rotate at all, its total angular momentum is zero.

      Is there a name for the type of momentum that leads to the expansion of the universe? Or is that just the total thermal energy that will become entropy at some point?

        “Dark energy” or “cosmological constant” is what “pushes” the universe to expand. Not angular momentum, which is, according to our understanding is zero. By the way, it is the space itself that expands. There is no any “expansion force” that acts on stars.

      We proved the no(-ish) angular momentum bcs of spacetime flatness, then we proved local unrealness.

      And what about the angular momentum of the multiverse?

        Why it would be any different in multiverse? The it is highly unlikely that the pure initial state had any angular momentum.

            In that (quite convincing) case, it still doesn’t revolve around you, unless you are that petunia.

    The universe gives no fucks.

    Yet it’s not a fuckless universe.

    The universe is hoarding all the fucks.

    The universe does not revolve around us, it expands around us.

    Except in the case of yo mamma where she is the one that expands space around her (with a mass that huge & 99% of it being dork energy & dank matter it causes further acceleration of expansion in the local cluster).
