    I mean, that’s a shower thought for sure.

    Kinda vague, but I get what you’re saying. I think I do, anyway.

    It isn’t just true on the obvious level either, where a nova at the wrong/right time and place could wipe us out.

    You don’t have to go all woowoo either, though anyone into that is free too. Small changes in the universe at large can have ripples all over, though that kind of change seems to be pretty rare at the current age of everything.

    But, the kind of small changes, like minor collisions of rocks have their own smaller ripples. It might take centuries or millennia to get rolling, but that’s essentially the theory behind planetary formation, little things bouncing around until they turn into big things.
