Real answer:<p>I absolutely love being alive right now. A Higgs boson! Confirmed objects from outside our solar system! A real life picture of a black hole! We’re just at the start of being able to learn these things, and it’s getting better by the year. I love it.<p>Conspiracy answer:<p>The alien probe launched 10,000 years ago just determined that either:<p>1) Our atmosphere is sufficiently thick to cause the object to disintegrate over seconds instead of instantaneously, meaning there’s enough raw gaseous material to be interesting, or<p>2) We have an active defense system, meaning the local inhabitants are smart enough to be interesting.<p>In 46 years, when the light reaches its origin around 26 Draconis, observations will be recorded, reports will be filed, and plans will be made.
