I might be linking Sunshine to one of Lovecraft's more psychological stories, in which, the astronomer goes mad from staring too long into the mysteries of the universe. Both Sunshine and Lovecraft involve an existentialist dread that the universe is ultimately a pitiless place that doesn't care about the continuity of human existence, and only the strongest can fully accept that truth without going mad.

I guess I don't understand why the universe not giving a crap is something that would drive somebody insane? I mean, it wasn't fun losing my belief in an all-powerful god who could "work all things together for the good." But I didn't experience suicidal despair or really anything beyond some angst. And I'm bipolar, so obviously I'm not "the strongest," mentally speaking.

People become atheists all the time, and the vast majority of us get through it just fine.

There is absolutely Lovecraftian themes around Pinbacker and how he was presented in the movie. The horror aspect of how he's slightly out of phase, hard to perceive until the moment before death... definitely gives that vibe, at least to me.
