(17,045 posts)maybe it'll be like getting sucked into a worm hole. When we get to another consciousness, it'll be so different, that a lot of things from our lives won't matter any more. Or at least I hope so. JIC, I'm planning to meet my husband by the moon. And in case of annihilation, we are all meeting by the moon
