Terafarad

The farad (symbol: F) is the unit of electrical capacitance, the ability of a body to store an electrical charge, in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to 1 coulomb per volt (C/V). It is named after the English physicist Michael Faraday (1791–1867). In SI base units 1 F = 1 kg−1⋅m−2⋅s4⋅A2. more »

The average color of the universe
Found by a team of astronomers from Johns Hopkins University in 2002
They analyzed the light from over 200,000 galaxies
To determine the color averaged out to a slightly beigeish white

So if the entire universe was blurred out until all color was uniformly distributed
It would look much the same as the surface of your latte you're drinking right now

So next time you go to Starbucks, remember to order a cosmic latte 
So you can be the most basic person out there: in the cosmic sense

But is humanity basic in the cosmic sense?  
What is an "average" life form in our universe?  
Well that really depends on whether or not aliens exist

How likely is it that we are alone in the universe?  
Well the Drake equation is an elegant formula 
We can use to estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations are in our galaxy
Only problem is that we know none of the numbers to plug into the equation so there is no solution 
I guess humanity isn't meant to know these kinds of answers yet
So we can only speculate crazy science fiction stories 
About what we think alien life forms might look like 
But ultimately projecting all of our human desires and sentiments onto them

So for all we know maybe we are the universal average
Maybe we really are alone in this unimaginably large universe
Or maybe the Milky Way galaxy is just filled with other humans that we haven't made contact with yet 
There's really no limit to what your imagination can come up with 
When the ratio of explored space to unexplored space is bigger than we could possibly imagine

So take a sip from your cosmic latte and revel in the endless possibilities of our universe
