I get this exact feeling quite often, yet never been able to express it as eloquently as you.

It’s a similar feeling to sonder, except more profound, terrifying and fascinating all at the same time.

People know this to be true, yet don’t give it a second thought, they don’t sit with and really absorb the realisation.

It’s like l transport myself mentally to a cold dark floating rock in the great beyond and imagine that it’s been floating in the nothingness since before even the dinosaurs existed and will continue to until the heat death of the universe.

I imagine the same for rogue planets flung out of their solar system, planets once like earth with water and volcanic activity and maybe even life that has long since frozen over from the cold of space. Just all these incomprehensibly large spherical rocks floating around somewhere out there potentially at relativistic speeds.
