Radio Play Adaptation of Isaac Asimov's Nightfall

Tenmatay, Jerico Charles B.
2010-78004

In all our efforts to seek out and learn the unknown, we are also afraid of it because we do not know what lies beyond it. The end of "Nightfall" alludes of the possibility of us being overwhelmed by that fact. The more we know, the more we realize what we don't know. Answers to questions lead to more questions. Over the course of human history, we keep realizing how wrong we are and we can't keep ourselves from asking if our whole existence was either a happy accident or simply a lie.

But in my opinion, this constant strive to know, to understand, to debunk and discover new things about the world is just as exciting as realizing how wrong we were to begin with. We discovered how utterly insignificant and lucky we really are in this universe but it opened our eyes to newer possibilities and opportunities over the grand scope of outer space. Who knows? maybe in the next 100 years or so, we will discover extraterrestrial life, learn to communicate with it and finally find a way to travel in space and search for new frontiers.
