Two Trillion

Two Trillion

Two
trillion.
Four hundred 
years back.
Earth was 
thought
to be
the center
of the
universe.
One hundred 
years back.
Some thought
the Milky Way,
one galaxy
was the 
extent of
the universe.
Now.
Science
estimates.
Two trillion
galaxies.
Two hundred
billion trillion
stars.
Seven hundred
quintillion
planets
in the
observable
universe.
Potentially 
many
trillion,
billion trillion,
quintillion 
beyond
observable. 
Conjecture,
potentially 
infinite
universes
abound
in a 
Superverse.
What’s the
point of
all this?
In a few
years, how
will A.I.
render 
all this
quaint,
obsolete?
Humanity
can’t 
fathom.
Imagination
run amok.
Entering
the twilight 
zone.

Other universes? Multiverse?
Who knows! Stephen Hawking had doubts, other physicists support the theory. Rather fascinating subject, John.
