(ORDO NEWS) — “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” (Eng. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket), – says the English proverb, the meaning of which is that if you put all your eggs in one basket, then if you drop it, there is a great risk of losing Everybody.
Therefore, it is recommended to arrange the eggs in several baskets, so that if one of them falls, you will not lose everything.
To date, all life known to us is a countless number of eggs that, by chance, ended up in one huge “basket” called the Earth.
We are slowly floating through space-time , slicing ellipses around a boring star called the Sun, and many, many people are convinced that this will continue for an incredibly long time, probably even forever.
However, this is not true:
- At any moment, a solar storm can hit our Earth, which, if it does not destroy our civilization, will throw it back decades.⠀
- At any moment, we can find out that a huge asteroid is moving in our direction, which the best minds of mankind have overlooked for the reason that their scientific program, which involves the construction of the latest telescopes, was not sufficiently funded. A single 10-kilometer space rock crashing into Earth would be capable of causing such damage that even a solar storm would seem like harmless entertainment on the part of the parent star.⠀
- And our planet itself is a source of the most severe dangers: supervolcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, insect invasions, drought, hurricanes and the awakening of ancient viruses as a result of global warming.
All this suggests that we are surrounded by global dangers that can cause the disappearance of earthly life.
Did you know that 99.9% of the living beings that have ever inhabited the Earth are already extinct ? We humans are also at risk.
But we, unlike, for example, dinosaurs, are able to go beyond the Earth and settle on the Moon and Mars.
We have a real opportunity to arrange eggs in different baskets, which will significantly increase the chances of survival of our species.
The universe is extremely indifferent, we do not know about the existence of “brothers in mind”, we do not have a magic wand and a book of spells, so we have nowhere to wait for help – in the event of an imminent catastrophe.
The exploration of space and the pursuit of new horizons is not entertainment to satisfy curiosity, but the search for ways to save and preserve our civilization with our own hands.
