Time is relative to your perspective. It doesn't really exist in the way we think it does. If you look at things as being separate from everything else than sure maybe it will seem Insignificant, But if you look at everything as being connected like it really is then things are very significant.
What would the Universe be if there were no Galaxies? What if there were no planets or stars? What would the Universe be if there was no life or consciousness to observe it? Would it even exist if there was no consciousness?
We are more than "Tiny Humans" living on a "small" planet that orbits a "small" star which is apart of a "small" Galaxy floating around space surrounded by other galaxies. We are the Universe.

I'm talking even about the microscopic structures of cosmos. We can't change it you say? Actually we do this everyday. If you kill a fly you just changed cosmos, maybe in a small way but still. If you show someone love, then you're changing his/her life. That's what I'm talking about.
Anyway, we have right now nuclear power, which could change some things more.
Some people(I'm not talking about you!) can't just use perspective. Because even if we could use energy from the whole galaxy, make black holes o even going back to the past we still would be insignificant for some people because we are(could be) in one of the many universe(I'm talking about Multiverse theory).

As far as I'm concerned, we've scoured the universe for more life and still not found it. Like matter is made up of almost entirely empty space, so is the universe. Empty space and dead planets made of some swirling gas and rocks. HERE is life. This tiny blue planet holds the only life in the universe, and that makes it, and what's on it, pretty damned special.
Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning, OP?
Oh noes I thought I was going to make an imprint on the universe with a new look on Quantum mechanics that would change the lives of every single human being, we would discover space travel, learn the secret to eternal life, cure hunger and stop war but after reading that I can't be arsed.
I can feel it washing away...
tick/tock . tick/tock . tick/tock
gone..
crap >.<
I am for one relieved being insignificant as it makes anything we do significant from our point of view in this insignificant existence.
"A blind, deaf, comatose, lobotomy patient could feel my ANGER"
OP could be right (most likely). Or being the insignificant humam being that he is he cannot possibly even begin to understand our role in the universe.
Until we have any other proof - the entire universe was created just for us, and is necessary just to have one single, solitary, insignificant tiny planet sustain life.
You could justify anything by saying it's insignificant.
The recent school shootings are insignificant and do not matter in the grand scheme of things. Why care about them?
Moral corruption at best.
