Are most people this curious?

My 8th grade math teacher loves talking to the boys in my class about things like the “space elevator” idea, or just other random things about space or anything, and I think thats what gets me going. Today I was riding home from a soccer game and I got lost starring up into the sky for like 45 minutes, just thinkin about things like, what was there before the universe, what is outside te universe if it is still expanding, is there other life, etc. An I sat there for that 45 minutes just thinking about that kind of stuff. My dad tells me to stop because he does it too an it apparently makes my mom mad, but are most people curious like that and want to know things, or just a few?
