Question

Would anyone be able to help me analyse a quote from H.G. Wells the star?

Quote: "how small the vastest of human catastrophes may seem, at a distance of a few million miles."

Answer 1

This quote by H.G. Wells implies humanity is just a very small part of the universe, and therefore, even important events here are insignificant.

The star is a short story that describes how an unknown star enters the solar system and it is threatening to collide with Earth and as a consequence have catastrophic effects.

As part of this story, the narrator refers to this possible catastrophe by stating how small the vastest human catastrophes may seem, at a distance of a few million years. From this quote it can be inferred:

• The universe is so vast that Earth is only a small particle or part in it.
• Even if human catastrophes are highly important for human societies they are insignificant if compare to the vastness of the universe.
• A big catastrophe on Earth is probably unknown to the rest of the universe.
