    Default The scale of the universe.

    Enjoy.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Awesome!! A quick fly-through from smallest to largest or vice-versa is pretty cool too.

    Very cool. I was also amazed at how far Voyager 1 had travelled, can't believe we humans sent out something that far away. And yet it's probably only travelled 0.00something01 percent of the observable universe...

    I dont know about you guys, but I feel extremely tiny right now. Makes my upcoming midterms seem less significant.

    If people think there isnt life out there, they are crazy.

    I zoomed out first and felt tiny, so when I did it zooming in, that was crazy. Zooming in was even more intersting IMO, everything gets bizarre at that scale.
