The word I'm seeking is a word used to describe the feeling you get when confronted with the immensity of nature and how little we are. It's what you get when you stand on the beach, watching the ocean when a storm is coming, or looking at the stars at night in the open, it's not fear, though it has some of that, it's a lot of mixed emotions: awe, fear, contemplation, admiration, etc.  It's not a word I made up, I read it a long while ago on a grammar group and now I need it, but I can't remember it.   And it's not a common word neither, it's very specific, it's the name of that mixed feelings you get in the situations I described, neither positive nor negative, a mix of both.   Someone mentioned ¨sonder¨ on the comments, and it's quite near that, but sonder means realizing your problems are minuscule compared to the Universe, which is not the same  And I apologize for not being clear enough prior, English is not my native tongue.
A man sits on a bench considering his woeful burden. He looks up at the stars and compares the distance from here to his house and here to the furthest visible star Deneb. Suddenly his problems seems pitifully faint and untroubling. He laughs and relaxes in his seat, staring at the ducks.     Look again at that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there—on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.   ~Carl Sagan      I really believe that if the political leaders of the world could see their planet from a distance of 100,000 miles their outlook could be fundamentally changed. That all-important border would be invisible, that noisy argument silenced. The tiny globe would continue to turn, serenely ignoring its subdivisions, presenting a unified façade that would cry out for unified understanding, for homogeneous treatment. The earth must become as it appears: blue and white, not capitalist or Communist; blue and white, not rich or poor; blue and white, not envious or envied. ~Michael Collins, astronaut   I'm looking for a noun or verb that describes this positive enlightening experience.
$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^s}$ only converges to $\zeta(s)$ if $\text{Re}(s) &gt; 1$.  Why should analytically continuing to $\zeta(-1)$ give the right answer? multisite: allow only specific users to update sites What the #$@&%*! is that called? Is there a name for the use of symbols in place of curse words, for example #$@&amp;%*!? If you visit a chat room attached to a beta site while logged out, the log in message is all but unreadable, being dark grey on a dark blue background. For example, visit  while logged out or in private browsing mode. How do I complete "Find the Bitizen"? Installing Cygwin packages from the command-line Show that if $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ is a continuous injective map, then it is strictly monotonic.    Could someone give me a proof for this? I have the intuition for why it's true - I'm just having trouble expressing that intuition in a rigorous manner. Basically consider two points $x_1, x_2 \in \mathbb{R}$. By the problem statement, $f$ is continuous on $[x_1, \, x_2]$. WLOG, assume that $f$ is strictly increasing. It there exists a point where it is not increasing, then $f$ hits a value twice, and it's not injective. transpose columns to rows C++ preprocessor __VA_ARGS__ number of arguments The drive is constantly filling up. You've hunted down all the spare and random files you can. grep'd for coredump files and even removed some of the un-needed backups...  What would be your next move.  The actual server in question has 10GB of website files and the OS shouldn't take any more than 10GB so how do you track down what's filling a 50GB (virtual) drive? On every boot up I get this:    For about 10 seconds (or more) before the "normal" Ubuntu Gnome loading screen and the login screen comes up.  I've read some questions and a bug report about this already, but this problem was dismissed as a minor inconvenience or there were no real solutions (that worked for me). For me, this problem leads to an unacceptable slow boot compared to Ubuntu (Unity) or Windows.  Does anybody know how to fix this or is this a "feature" of Ubuntu Gnome and not a bug? How to get a record from within custom visualforce page? Calculating the eigenvalues of a matrix If $F: \mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R$ and $F_x$ (partial derivative of $F$ wrt $x$) and $F_y$ exist at $(x_0,y_0)$ then the function is continuous at that point. Is this true? If not what could be a counter-example? I deleted the "/etc/passwd" file and cannot log in Where does the extra kinetic energy come from in a gravitational slingshot? Since there is no word "shallowen", is there a good antonym of "deepen"? The meaning of "deepen" that I am referring to here is "to cause to become deeper." It doesn't necessarily refer to digging a hole. For example, a temporary deformation in a soft surface:     Putting the anvil on the mattress deepens the depression in it, but removing the anvil ______ it.   I would also be happy with an antonym of the intransitive version "to become deeper." Renaming Files and Directories Recursively using rename/find Simple form validation Is it possible to call the base method from a prototype method in JavaScript if it's been overridden?  MyClass = function(name){     this.name = name;     this.do = function() {         //do somthing      } };  MyClass.prototype.do = function() {       if (this.name === 'something') {         //do something new     } else {         //CALL BASE METHOD     } };
