The nearest galaxy is 25000 light-years away from us and we are approximately 27000 light years away from the Galactic Centre. We have proven the existence of Black Holes and that everything in our universe is moving further and further apart. We figured out how to send men into space and recover them safely, as well as how to build a house in space. We know that the core of the Earth is molten and is spinning at a certain speed. Mariana's Trench is the lowest point of the Earth's surface and we have already been there. Let's not forget about Mount Everest as well.

We know that everything is made up of atoms and every atom contains electrons, protons and neutrons; stuff which are invisible to the naked eye but we have invented devices to see them. Every electron contains 1.6×10−19C of charge and we know how to generate large amounts of energy by fusing or splitting these particles.

And then of course, there are lots more of other stuff which we know but is impossible to list them all down. How did we get to where we are today?

The brilliance of human intelligence.
