This is not the greatest sentence ever written in the English language, however trying to think of my answer, a lyric by Andy Partridge of XTC popped into my head:

    'bout a zillion years ago / Some star sneezed / Now their paging you in reception

For me, that captures the absurdity that is the immense time and space that is the backdrop for a human condition that is absurdly full of myopic meanderings.
