Imagine The Earth is The Size of The Sun

The Physiology of Things
Even if you put every human alive today into the Grand Canyon, we still couldn't fill it. We were only able to construct a pile in a very small section of the canyon. All of us—all 7.159 billion of us—are represented there. This also puts humanity into perspective. Humans spit up roughly one to two liters every day, so over the course of a lifetime, you won't create enough saliva to fill an Olympic-sized pool all at once. The entire amount of sand grains on Earth is thought to be 7.5 x 10 to the 18th, while 560 billion Lego parts have already been produced.

Consciousness and Awareness
Half of a person's brain is surgically removed during a hemispherectomy, and this treatment is often only performed on very, very young individuals because their brains are still sufficiently malleable to allow the remaining half to assume the duties of the removed half. And it's typically done because a small child or a baby is experiencing seizures, and the sole treatment is to remove the area where the seizures take place. But now for the query. If one can survive with only half a brain, what if we took two empty skulls, removed your brain in half, and placed one half in one body and the other half in another? Which one of these would you be? You are you, after all. From your own point of view, you are aware of what is taking place. Consider it in this way.

ROOT, THE ENDANGERED EARTH’S ANCHOR
The size and complexity of plant ecosystems make them truly global in scope. They mold the earth and maintain it against change. Additionally, when we cultivate plants for agriculture, our root systems change. Therefore, we are sacrificing a means of defending against the effects of the climate crisis in the unavoidable process of growing food. So, let's look at how we're destroying our roots and what we can do to fix it.
