I agree. Touching on your first point I think it's hard for humans to conceptualize the vastness of space. I think using terms like 'light years' is almost a disservice to the layman, because someone will hear 'it's only 4 light years away' and think "that's nothing". But if they heard 24 trillion miles they'd be like :merchant:.

Still how crazy would it be to see this pinpoint of light grow ever so slightly bigger each day and realize in 30 years it's gonna destroy the planet? :whoo:
The speed of light is 670,616,629 miles per hour. This star is moving like an old lady in outer space.

Yea i think that last 5 years before the star impacted with earth would be :sadbron: People would be so lawless it would be sickening. People trying to hide in the ground, leave the planet, kill everyone, rape everyone. Chaos.

Even more crazy that even if we ever find a way to travel at the speed of light, we wont be able to reach MANY places that we would want to...
