    Pondering other worlds, whether those be the distant worlds in our own universe, or the worlds we can enter through the stories of others.
    ...
    Speaking of which, here are some worlds/stories that I like, in no particular pattern or order (though this is probably in need of some updating):
    The Cosmere
    Avatar: The Last Airbender
    The Legend of Zelda
    The Xenoblade Chronicles series
    Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, and adjacent books
    Project Hail Mary

    Dune
    Interstellar
    Arrival
    Inception
    Tenet
    Princess Mononoke
    Castle in the Sky
    Fullmetal Alchemist
    Star Wars
    ...And probably a bunch of others I'm forgetting. This list is not comprehensive.

    If I could hie to Kolob in the twinkling of an eye,

    What makes you think that I would spend eternity searching for a boundary that doesn't exist?

    No, I would spend far too much time being very distracted by every little interesting planet that would now be in my reach.

    Ah...that would be nice.

    Spoiler

    The problem is that we have no idea how fast Kolob Eye Twinkling really is, because speed=distance/time, and we don't know the distance and the time is pretty ambiguous.

    We just know that it's fast.

    Spoiler

    I'm sorry to those of you who don't understand what the heck I'm talking about here.

      Fun fact: the tune to that hymn is also that of an Irish folk song called "Star of the County Down", as well as an amazing piece of classical music by Ralph Vaughan Williams (who's credited in the hymnbook, I believe).

      I feel like if I could hie to Kolob | in a twinkling of an eye…

      it’s a star in outer space | so then I would probably die
