"About our universe.
Black holes. "
Can agree with this.
However, experiments at The large haldron collider (think I spelt it correctly)
Also the age we live in, we are on the brink of overdue catastrophic disasters |

How big it is.
What's at the end of it, what is it expanding into and where does that end?
I love watching Brian Cox but my mind is frazzled thinking about the sheer size of the universe and the unknown |

"Why scientists report about planets that could sustain life but they're like a bajillion light years away when we can't even get to Mars  "
Yeah this. We get all excited about what may be there and then they say its a 1200 year journey.  |

How easily accessible drugs and weapons are to facilitate the violence and chaos that is plaguing society of today!!
I’m worried my children will be brought up in a society where seeing people off their faces, stabbed during a fight or shot in the back is a normal thing to see!! |

I know right, I suppose it's interesting to know there might be other life out there but ultimately pointless as it doesn't affect us |

"The universe and how can it keep growing. "
Not really growing. Expanding.
A massive explosion in zero atmosphere, things only stop when they hit something or get stuck in something's gravity. It's all just moving further and further away from the big bang |

"I saw the other day that there are 88 galaxies.
So, how many more exist if space is infinite? Cannot compute Will Robinson....
  "
There's more than 88.
Look up the hubble ultra deep field picture. Long exposure image over 4 months in an area of the sky the size of your small finger nail, more than 10,000 galaxies in that 1 picture. |

88? There are billions."
And in each galaxy billions of solar systems.
Just take a minute to think how much is out there.
And it's growing, into god knows what

Michael Burke’s ‘999’ programme from the 90s:
1. Javelin through the neck
2. Getting foot caught in escalator
3. Getting hair caught in swimming pool filter
4. Getting trapped in a cave with rising water levels
5. Falling over the edge of a cliff |

In 2021, data from NASA's New Horizons space probe was used to revise the previous estimate to roughly 200 billion galaxies (2×1011),[7] which followed a 2016 estimate that there were two trillion (2×1012) or more[8][9] galaxies in the observable universe, overall, and as many as an estimated 1×1024 stars[10][11] (more stars than all the grains of sand on all beaches of the planet Earth).[12]

"Remember when everyone had a fear of quicksand? What happened to that?
Oh yes .What 70s thriller was complete without quicksand?!"
I was terrified of the stuff when I was a kid. |

"Remember when everyone had a fear of quicksand? What happened to that?
The attention turned to lava."
Kids these day don’t know real fear. It’s all zombies and ghosts now. Bring back quicksand, lava and those plants that eat people. |

Lots of quick sand in Weston, and not enough people are scared of it. |

Triffids.
I couldn't ( wasn't allowed to) watch it.
That film about Nuclear war scared the bejesus out of me too. Threads. Still gives me the heebie jeebies  |

It doesn’t trouble me, in fact I enjoy it, but I do find the chances of the moon being *exactly* the right size and *exactly* the correct distance and *exactly* on an orbit that will *exactly* obscure the Sun and cause an eclipse to be crazily coincidental, especially when you consider the distances involved and the fact that orbits change, and that we, as a form of life who have been around for an absolute gnats piss of time exist in the moment to a) understand it and b) witness it.
I absolutely do not believe anything in the universe is by design, but if someone were to do so (maybe Slartibartfast, for those who get such references) this is *exactly* the sort of prank they’d pull |

The weapons that we don't know about, especially the way technology has advanced in such a short time.
To put it in perspective, someone from 2000 years ago could live in the 1600's with little change their lives, someone from the 1950's would struggle to accept the 2020's. |

"Being an insignificant part of the universe.
And people fucking up the planet "
Humanity is merely a teardrop on the face of eternity.
Explain to me a species that has the power to compose the music of angels the ability to cure illness that ravage its existence but makes weapons of total destruction in the cause of an ism or ist. |

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

"Space. Just can't comprehend it. So vast, so empty.
Its full of rocks and suchlike, heaving even "
Does it not make you feel lonely? Are we the only inhabited planet? Is there someone sat on a different rock is planning an orgy? X |

The fact nothing is static and constantly falling ,by falling I mean in anti gravity so falling in an undefined direction at speeds that cannot be measured and ultimately towards a conclusion, so we are experiencing nothing more than a violent conclusion of an erupting star that is fast approaching an end.
Massive rocks are flying past us and aliens will be making a visit, satellites crashing back to earth, full of radiation and still no zombies.... and amongst all of this, I got to spend three hours of my time in this crazy circus ,3 hours on hold trying to get through to anglia water... |
