A description of the experience
Sir James Jeans – The Mysterious Universe
Is this then all that life amounts to – to stumble almost by mistake into a universe which was clearly not designed for life and which to all appearances is either totally indifferent or definitely hostile to it, to stay clinging on to a fragment of a grain of sand until we are frozen off, to strut our tiny hour on our tiny stage with the knowledge that our aspirations are all doomed to final frustration and that our achievements must perish with our race, leaving the universe as though we had never been?
