Now now, let's leave religion and non-religion out of this. The only legal derailing factor on this forum is food or drink

Amazing link-never heard of "quantam foam" before. Damn some of those stars and other objects are huge!

Extreme high probability =/= total certainty.

Objects...?

All I seem to realise is empty space.

Or shall I say: mind?

VY Canis Majoris: Largest star known in the graphic. Yup, that's a Majoris damned Canis, indeed. Pit bulls got nothing on that dog.

There was a ride in Disneyland where you "went" through a microscope. It was sorta like the left side of this animation.

I remember as a young kid being fascinated at all the really really small stuff there is out there.

In the animation in this thread, I like the Planck length "anything smaller makes no physical sense"

Now the questions is what is on the other side of the Universe?

It is humbling that there will be questions and areas of space that the human species will simply never be able to explore.

Kinda makes our political and cultural disagreements seem a little insignificant. Most things really small don't care, and most things really big won't notice what humans do.

Estimated size of the Universe - 900 YM

Estimated size of Donald Trump's ego - ?
