even a dead rock is interesting if you look at it from the right perspective,
its dead now, it was alive before, its about what time range you consider,
just like you were young before. what is a rock? what it is right now, or what it was before too? To be super cliched, what are those stars you love to watch? isnt what you are looking at something that used to be a star? The past? The same with the rock. Its just the rock is closer.
