Why is outer space so vast? What's the point of it being that big and empty?

Define the point.

Cause unlike what some Ancient Near Eastern superstition says, the universe doesn't revolve around humans and there isn't a big man in the 7th Heaven watching over us. This doesn't mean we're insignificant and nothing matters, that's a loser mindset. A lot of people see this image have pessimistic thoughts, but I see this image and have optimistic thoughts on it. Just the fact that Earth evolved a lifeform that managed to leave its home planet, take images this deep in space, and then think about these abstract questions on reality, just shows the power & beauty of it all coming together.

But you are insignificant, your mass and energy basically are nothing in the scheme of things and nothing matters a lot, it might be the most important thing there is since every other mathematical value and shape is defined with respect to it -> x=0+x.

If it was dense everything were colliding into everything, we probably had blackholes all around and supernovas blowing here and there. And eventually everything would collapse into one black hole even before we came into existence.

And yet a single human body holds trillions of bacteria and viruses that make up its anatomy. Your body is literally a planet in itself for an unimaginable numbers of microscopic creatures. This modern nihilistic POV of looking into space and thinking "wow we don't matter at all" is all relative and IMO the aftermath of a civilization that gained this knowledge, yet can't move beyond a this ancient Platonic-Semitic Worldview where the world is an illusion and we need some sort of Supreme God to keep us in check.

The grand scheme of things doesn't matter though, I can only be sure that my own mind exists.

It's not empty, it's boiling but you havn't the senses for that.

it used to not being empty, you're just living billions of years into the future of the universe.

Is not empy, is full of space

It takes a large amount of room to expand out, restructure the parts in more and more complex parts, then bring the pieces back together.

it just is, and the point of everything manifest is to experience samsara.
if you want science, everything is created by Cellular Automata, as Wolfram implied and should have just stated directly.
so look into the Cellular Automata Classes.
https://cafaq.com/classify/

so "why" anything- reduces to either mental (primary) causes, or scientific (second) causes.
and scientific causes reduce to quantum physics and cellular automata (many of which generate fractals).
the empty space with small units of structure pattern is pretty fractal, see picrel


>>16868136
we do matter. it all matters and doesnt simultaneously...
God illusion and mattering don't contradict.
you are God, the world is an illusion and it matters if you want it to.

vacuum is not void, it is full of electro and positron pairs and gamma rays, it is the material of the universe itself and can be harnessed

Space isn't big and empty, human is just small and full (of himself).
