No Country For Old Men - The Ending Scene
Ed Tom (TLJ) has decided on retirement rather than bringing the killer to justice. He found the killer but he retires because he realizes that Texas is essentially No Country for Old Men. So he tells his wife about a dream: heading into snowy, dangerous mountains on horseback and his father carrying fire, goes on ahead of him to await him.
This idea of father & son carrying fire is also explored in The Road, McCarthy's follow-up to NCFOM, as the man and the boy seek to establish their place in the overwhelming bleakness of their existence.
The Sheriff knows he's outmatched by this new kind of evil (Bardem) and since he's older now than his father ever was, the dream is kind of an acceptance of his retirement, a "letting-go" of this hazardous job so he can follow the fire of his father. Perhaps he feels he owes it to his father to continue to survive, since he's older.
Like Bob Dylan said, "Momma, take this badge offa me, ... I feel I'm knockin on heaven's door."
What if Earth had rings like Saturn?
Far as science discovery goes, I like to think the inhabitants of a ringed Earth would have shed any "flat earth" ideas far far earlier than we did and I think the reason is obvious. It would also have been a simple matter to show how large and how far away the rings were. Plus, I believe man would have done anything it took to see how far the rings go, which would have led to an accelerated shipbuilding craft, which would have led to accelerated human expansion, etc, etc.
On the other hand, I can also see religious forces using it to incite a more potent fear, which would likely have tempered the above.
Oh, I love this.
