The Hollow Earthers are far more entertaining.

There are billions of milky way-sized galaxies in our known universe.
Ain't this mind-blowing?

"What is the purpose of life?" One of the Big Three questions.

It's become clear that life has no purpose, it just is what it is, and that situation is disappointing to a lot of people who feel the need for a purpose.

The interesting question to me is why people think that life needs a purpose, and when that thought first appeared in our evolutionary history. As far as we know, other animals do not worry about having a purpose. It will be interesting to see if advanced AI starts asking the same existential questions we do, and maybe is a better sign of intelligence than the Turing test.
