Marine Aid For Navigation

Have you ever thought about how long eternity is?
Probably not. It's something none of us like to think about.
Makes us feel pointless and insignificant.
It doesn't matter how you look at it, eternity is a very long time. Doesn't matter what you are getting up to in it.
From a mathematical point of view, one could liken eternity to an infinite number of years.
We have a finite number of years.
Anything finite divided by infinity is as good as zero, so we will just say it is zero.
Therefore, on this timeline, nothing we do, nothing we could even think up to do, can make any dint of a difference upon anything.

Feeling uncomfortable?

What can we do about this?
The answer is rather obvious: nothing.
Absolutely nothing.

However, maybe this isn't as easy as initially believed.
Let us stress and fill our lives with trivial shite, so as to keep our minds of the inevitable ceasation of living, and think that we do matter in the grand scale of things: all we have to do is keep breeding and spawning offspring that will mutate with the changing universe, and in a near-infinate span of time, there will exist a part of you still inhabiting the space-time continuum.

so anything divided by infinity is about 0.

so lets assume the length of time the universe has existed is infinite.

and then assume that after the creation of the universe, there was one second before matter started to exist.

so divide the amount of time matter has existed by the length of the universes existence. you can prove that matter has hardly ever existed at all.

there's a big hole in that argument, find it if you like.
