In summary, exploring astrophysics has significant philosophical implications as it invites us to question our place and purpose in the vastness of the universe. It also challenges our understanding of time, reality, and existence itself. Furthermore, it forces us to confront the limits of human knowledge and the possibility of other forms of life beyond our planet. Overall, the study of astrophysics encourages us to think deeply about the fundamental questions of existence and our place in the cosmos.

I am a retired academic librarian from the California State University System. Since my retirement, I now have the time and energy to seriously pursue my long-standing interest/love/obsession with astrophysics. Initially I am filling in the mathematics and physics pre-requisites for graduate study of astrophysics. A related interest to astrophysics itself, is the philosophical implications arising as the walls of earth-centricism become more fragile.
