another thing ive been thinking about recently is this
imagine you are a huge animal, the size of a planet, that floats through space doing whatever that kind of animal does.
you stumble across a blue planet and being the same size as it you see it with pretty good detail.
you see a ball of hot metal (which is rarefied earth) covered in cooler earth and on the surface there is water, and then surrounding it is an atmosphere containing air.
you look closer and see the earth and water animating themselves into proteins and then those into beautiful forms of plants and animals, inhaling and exhaling the air before collapsing back into the ground after some time.
a beautiful dance of life across its surface.
pretty neat.
