So yesterday, I was beginning to think about the universe and despite how obvious it is, it didn't really 'hit' me until thinking about it that space is infinite; and if it's not, it will just keep leading on and on and on into something never-ending. Now keeping this in mind, there is so much space in the universe that makes earth look like a dust spec in the big picture, which would theoretically mean that sooner or later, we will end up expanding into space - or will we?

See, I heard an interview from Joe Rogan who related the human species to that of mold. He said that like mold, you don't look at each human individually, but rather as an entire group progressing towards the same goal (you can argue that we have minds that can change that, but that's another topic). He said that as an observer from a birds eye view, if you saw all of the mountains, trees, grass, flowers, etc and then saw these huge factories giving out all of this smoke and smog, you would think those factories were some kind of cancer to the earth, meaning what we're doing is 'unnatural'. But as with mold, we are simply doing what is in our nature, which is to expand on open and uncharted areas.

But here is where this all gets interesting. If you notice with mold, once it has no more surface area to cover, it no long grows, but instead collapses into itself. And when you relate that to all of the similarities to humans, you have got to wonder if humans will end up the same fate, which realistically it will once we can't expand on earth anymore. So my question to you blades is this:

Will humans successfully begin to explore and expand out into space, or will we crumble into ourselves before we have the chance?
