About This Quiz

All of space and time exists within the universe. Everything you know in life is within the universe. It's pretty crazy to think about. What's even crazier is that so much of the universe has never been touched or seen. It's so vast that astronomers and scientists don't even know how big it really is. The observable universe is about 93 billion light years in diameter. That's literally the only part of the universe we've seen, and it's that big. Can you imagine what else is out there that no one knows about? There could be a whole other solar system exactly like ours with people in it and we might never know.

Getting lost in the vastness that is the universe can send you down a (black) hole that is hard to come out of. What might help is figuring out what your connection to the universe is and how connected you are to it. Do your passions lie in the stars, or does your loyalty stand with Earth and preserving its beauty? The way you go about your daily life, the choices you make and the way you interact with people tell a story. A subtle story about your connection with the universe. We can tell you just how connected you are through this quiz. Take it now!
