It’s somehow unsurprising that the biggest questions that plague us — Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we heading? Why are we sad? — would be answered by the melancholic insight of comedian Louis C.K.

He took to Twitter over a couple of hours last night to present a unifying theory of everything, and it’s really not looking good.

After fucking up their own planet, Martians hopped on a moon, crashed into Earth, and seeded it with Martian DNA. That ennui you carry around? That’s just nostalgia for a time when you were part of a unified whole, before you were flung about space with reckless abandon; and it’s a feeling you’ll be sharing with the rest of us until we can fly back home on another moon.

Also everything is a spaceship, and you’ll be screaming for a jiblion years.
