I've had several people tell me that they feel insignificant after watching a show or movie on the universe. Personally I don't understand this, instead of feeling insignificant I feel a sense of wonder.

I wonder if it is related to the disparity between those who feel they have no control over the universe, and those who have the passion to learn and create.manogyana25 said:Yeah, I feel the same. It feels fascinating after watching movies related to space, time etc etc... Interstellar was very good. What do you think?

Space movies often depict vast and awe-inspiring images of the universe, which can make us feel small and insignificant in comparison. They also explore the unknown and infinite possibilities of space, which can make us question our place in the universe.
Yes, it is a common reaction to feel insignificant after watching space movies. It is a natural response to be in awe of the vastness and complexity of the universe, and to feel small in comparison.
While the feeling of insignificance may be unsettling for some, it is not likely to have a significant impact on mental health. However, if you find that it is causing distress or anxiety, it is important to talk to a mental health professional.
One way to cope with these feelings is to remind yourself that your existence is meaningful and important in its own way. You can also try to focus on the beauty and wonder of the universe rather than its vastness and your perceived insignificance.
Yes, watching documentaries or educational videos about space can help put things into perspective and provide a deeper understanding of our place in the universe. It can also be a reminder of the amazing achievements and advancements of humanity in exploring and understanding the vastness of space.
