Do you ever feel dread over some cosmic phenomena and certain physics?
A giant meteor strike hitting the Earth isn't much of a worry since I assume a solution to prevent that would be made. I'm not too worried about the sun burning out because people would be living in space colonies by then if they are still around.
Anti-matter is worrying but since it's so rare it likely won't cause any problems for Earth.
There also is some theoretical one dimensional object called a cosmic string which is a crack in the universe which basically could slice entire planets to bits though these haven't been found so they if existent must be far away but if they can travel around it's still unsettling a little.
Then there's entropy where everything basically runs out of energy and everything goes to shit.
Even worse is a theoretical particle called a strangelet and what is frightening about these is when a strangelet collides with matter basically converts it to strange matter and it explodes even more strangelets if I recall right so this means all matter in the universe eventually rapidly be destroyed because of a strangelet hitting one piece of matter.
Are there any cosmological things that bother you because of the thought of everything we know being gone not just humanity and what about it fills you with a sense of impending doom?
