I've come to the realization that humanity's presence won't mean anything

Look at all the great things we have. Vehicles to get us around, technology and gadgets, and all the other things man has created. And in 5 billion years from now, I know a very long time, the Sun will expand and destroy Earth. Unless man can figure out how to build starships and get around the galaxy like in the movies, humanity is screwed.

Of course there's more factors other than just the sun expanding, but if man is thinking they'll leave behind some Earthly relic for aliens to find in 10 billion years, welp, Earth and all of humanity's things left behind, will be gone by then.

Absolutely correct.. There is no eternity. If history proves out we are at least two "Great Dyings" away from the sun expanding and finishing the planet off. But think on this. Our sun itself has already been recycled and rebuilt three times, which we know from the number of elements present on the planet and the atomic forces it took to create them. Each of us now contains star stuff.😷
