There is a star out there that is so big it is scary. We know it is the biggest star we know of, but there could be even bigger stars out there that we don't know about. It's amazing to think about all the things that are happening in the universe that we don't know about while we are busy dealing with our own problems. It can make us feel small and insignificant, but it also makes us curious and excited.

If we think about how quickly light can travel around the Earth, which is about 0.133 seconds, it's amazing to realize that the size of this star is 215778 times bigger than the Earth. That means it could fit 7 quadrillion planets inside it, which shows us how small we are compared to the universe. It's like we are a tiny planet floating in space.

If you do the math correctly, this star is so big that if you have a family of four, you would get 4 million pieces of land to share between you. That's enough land for each person in the world to have 1 million pieces of land. That's how big this star is!

This young man may be big, but his life is still very short compared to other things. We won't be able to enjoy his halva for a very long time because stars with bigger masses don't last as long.

Since I saw this, it has become harder and harder to understand why life doesn't have a meaning. When I close my eyes, I imagine myself as a person with two legs, made of flesh and bones, filled with blood and created from a tiny sperm on a tiny round object. After that, it seems silly to think about things like work, power, money, and education.
