Significant according to whom, according to ourselves? Self-significance? If there was no life on earth except for ONE human, are they significant?
If there is ONE grain of salt in the ocean with intelligent life on it, microscopic intelligent life (as we perceive it of course), are they significant? Bare in mind that these life forms on this ONE grain of salt do not have the ability to move to any other grains of salt. I guess they would be asking themselves the same question as us.
