Thames you should think about how you will end up yourself. What are you really in comparison with the universe, when you consider that the nearest fixed star is 275,000 times 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 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.
