What if all animals had intelligence equal to that of humans?
I am sure your timeline is full of these cute creatures taking a warm bath as if the problems of the world do not exist. Yeah, I get it. The largest rodents in the world do not have that macho look of wise sayings all around them but they are known to be rather intelligent. Research shows, they are even more intelligent than two year old children and or average dogs. The thing is, though dogs can be obedient, capybaras have their mind of their own and their way of doing things. So, if you ask them to do a rollover, they either start to say to themselves, āOh no, not again,ā and then invent their own crazy way of doing it, or simply will not do it.

Voyage Through the Cosmos: From Our Worldās Pale Blue Dot to the Physical Limits of the Universe
# Exploring the Cosmic Scale: From the Earth to the Observable UniverseIn the vastness of space, our beautiful planet the Earth is placed at a very unique position. From the perspective of space science, dramatic reality begins as one moves āout thereā into the galaxy and the universe. The Earth as referred to by Carl Sagan as the āpale blue dotā is the background against which all human actions unfold. From this cosmic dust, and without any more preamble, we set off through distances defining our solar system and the universe beyond. In case of the solar system, the closest entity to us is the moon and its average distance is approximately 384000 Kilometers. To put this distance into perspective, imagine driving at a speed of 100 kilometres per hour for over 160 days to get to our moon companion. The observers are left with the impressions of how small the place to live is and that it is endangered with extinction when observing the Earth from the Moon. Farther away we have the Sunāthe star that provides light and heatāat a distance of approximately 150 million meters or about one astronomical unit (AU). The time taken by the light to get to the Earth from the Sun is 8 minutes and 20 seconds, which makes one appreciate the size of the solar system. Not only is the sun the source of life in this planet but also the point of reference when searching for the rest of the universe. Mars is the fourth planet of the solar system and the distance between it and the Earth varies due to Marsā elliptical movement around the sun. Even at its nearest position, Mars is a mere fifty-four million miles from the earth. So, the average distance from the sun reaches 6 million kilometers while the maximum distance is 401 million kilometers. If each area were to move as fast as a commercial airplane, then a trip to Mars will take decades, arguing about the challenges of space exploration.
