The boundary condition of the universe is that it has no boundary.
Why are we here? Where do we come from? Traditionally, these are questions for philosophy, but philosophy is dead.
The media need superheroes in science just as in every sphere of life, but there is really a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line.
thus, in a sense, we are all doomed. even if we stay away from black holes
The victim should have the right to end his life, if he wants. But I think it would be a great mistake. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope.

You cannot understand the glories of the universe without believing there is some Supreme Power behind it.
In this way, Edwin Hubble worked out the distances to nine different galaxies. We now know that our galaxy is only one of some hundred thousand million that can be seen using modern telescopes, each galaxy itself containing some hundred thousand million stars.
What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.
It matters if you just don't give up.
There is no way that we can predict the weather six months ahead beyond giving the seasonal average
