Dennis Overbye:We walk around our little bubbles of certainty that are occasionally rudely shattered by the sudden emergence of a pandemic or worse. We sort of think we can run our lives. We really can’t.

Bianca Giaever: What do you mean?

Dennis Overbye: Well, the truth of this is that the universe doesn’t care. I mean, the stars in the sky, they don’t know about us. We’ll never know whether anybody’s living there or not. Probably not.

And eventually, in a billion years, there will be no life on Earth because the sun will warm up and boil away the oceans. The human race will be forgotten.

So in the far, far fullness of time, nothing will remain.
