I like space.

I like space.

I like space because it’s cool and scary and pretty all at the same time.

A beautiful orchestrated mess.

I like space because we came from it.

We, humans, came to be scientifically because of millions of years of evolution.

But where did our ancestors come from?

That’s right, space.

But not from another planet, oh no no no. That would make them aliens.

They came from a very early version of our beloved Planet Earth.

Small, drifting little specks.

They would start out eating minerals left from when Earth was in it’s infancy.

Later, they would evolve and gain photosynthesis, an ability allowing them to eat energy given off by the sun, the core of our solar system.

The sun itself is a star. Stars can be the core of any form of solar system.

The word “Solar” means “Star”.

The word “Solar” comes from the latin words “Sol” (meaning sun) and “Solaris”.

Latin was one of the first actual languages that humans thought of collectively.

In fact, we can draw parallels from most of our words from Latin.

We can even find that the word for ‘Space’ also came from Latin.

Spatium.

A room or space.

Isn’t language such a wonderful thing?

There are many different theories, or predictions, of where language could have begun.

But It’s been around for a good bit.

But there is pretty solid evidence that language is way older than you.

Way older than me.

Way older than your parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents.

But not older than space.

Space was the first thing to exist.

Along with time.

Time and Space.

Space and Time.

Time for me to end this post about space.
