Cosmic Force, what are you really in relation to the universe? Consider that the nearest fixed star is 275,000 farther away from you than the sun and its parallax can make one second of arc. If you were a fixed star in the universe you'd certainly be too minute for even the best astronomical instruments to identify. Your insignificance in the universe defies definition. For half a year you'd make in the sky a tiny arc, in a year a very tiny ellipse which would be too small to be expressed in figures. Your parallax would defy measurement.
