Your Own Corner

There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.

Aldous Huxley

According to this BBC article , there are about 100-200 billion galaxies in the Universe, a lower end estimate. And there’s about 8.3 billion people on this planet. Which means, we all could get our own galaxy if we had the means to travel that far. Problem is, the distance between galaxies is measured in millions of light years in a unit called a megaparsec (3.26 million light years), which means each of our corners of the Universe would be lonely.
