The Scale of the Universe
If you ever feel small or insignificant then click on this link and zoom in and out of the entire universe. Try for just a moment to get your head around just how tiny we really are… or how truly infinitesimal the particles, atoms and quarks that make up ‘us’ are. You will ultimately fail. These kinds of scale are way beyond our perception. But they never fail to ignite in me a sense of awe and wonder.
I’ve actually got that bookmarked. Every couple of months I spot the shortcut and spend a good half-hour just zooming it in and out like a kid with a new toy. Fascinating.
