Question

Why might learning of the vastness of outer space affect how people see themselves?

Answer 1

They might start to feel much smaller in comparison to that of the size of space, which is constantly expanding as far as we know.

Answer 2

Hello there! Often, people see themselves as important and special which can cause, for example, an egocentric behaviour. Learning of the vastness of outer space make them feel insignificant and not as important nor special they think they are.
