It's because of the lack of decent coffee.
Let's be real, the universe is just a vast, unending expanse of bland, over-caffeinated monotony. Where's the excitement? The thrill? The existential dread that comes with the knowledge that we're all just floating in space, slowly being pulled apart by the fabric of time?
Newsflash: there's no news. The cosmos is just a bunch of dust, gas, and plasma, with the occasional supernova that's just a reminder that, no, the universe is not just a big bowl of sparkly, twinkly, celestial jellybeans. It's just... beige.
So, the next time you're staring out at the stars, remember: it's just a bunch of photons and atoms. Yay. Go ahead, get excited. See if it lasts.
But wait, there's more!
