It is an intrinsic part of this universes physical nature. As to what role humanity has in this universe is unknown. How humanity can enhance the universes regulatory or perpetuation cycles is open to speculation. In any way shape or form, humanity isnt above the universe. It wasnt created for our express purposes or geocentric egos.
Humanity is an inherent part of the universes systems and order.
We exist in it , not on top of it. The universe owns us , we dont own it. This is liberating in itself.
