second the Earth may be causally orbiting around the sun, functioning normally, and the next, it could be sucked into a rogue black hole, without anyone even knowing until it is too late. In this small world, mankind may seem powerful and unstoppable. However, in the bigger picture, humans are just tiny specks on some miniscule planet, somewhere in the middle of the universe. The real question is, what if humans weren’t just specks on one tiny planet, but were specks on two planets, Earth and Mars
