Across cultures and epochs, humans have contemplated the vastness of something greater than themselves. The night sky that inspired ancient astronomers still evokes awe today - that spine-tingling sense of being part of something magnificent. Neuroscientists call this "self-transcendent experience," where our usual sense of self dissolves into wonder. Whether through nature, art, or meditation, these moments share common features: time seems to slow, problems shrink in perspective, and we feel connected to existence itself. Modern physics echoes this with revelations about our universe's breathtaking scale and complexity. These experiences aren't about dogma, but about that universal human capacity to marvel - and perhaps that capacity itself is evidence of something truly great.
