The things that are far more significant than people are space and time. Why? Because they appear in all explanations.
Humans have no place in this exalted company. Our history and politics, our science, art and philosophy our aspirations our moral values – all these are tiny side effects of a supernova explosion a few billion years ago, which could be extinguished tomorrow by another supernova explosion. One can explain everything that is significant without ever mentioning people at all.
