Thanks for this.
That was amazing. Thank you so much for posting that!
I found it amazing to note that about the "halfway" point on the scale of the universe is an ant. So the median of the universe is ant sized. That means we are MUCH MUCH MUCH closer to the small end of the scale than we let ourselves think. Some devastating event occurs that wipes out thousands of us. It turns out to be caused by the crispy outside of a little ball of molten rock that moved four feet. Thousands to millions of us are wiped out by an event that doesn't even register on the planetary scale, much less on a solar or cosmic scale. We could use some perspective in our lives.
It is all about perspective though. The true scale of the universe is really unconprehensional. Even this interactive scale is simply a way to have some comprehension over something that is far to vast to comprehend. So on our scale, what happens merits importance.
That is my opinion anyways on it.
Incidentally, I'm really getting into Carl Sagan's Cosmos series (http://www.hulu.com/cosmos). It's a little old but not dated.
I love this interactive scale thank you so much ,

This is like a quick fix for Space and sagan lovers Ive rewatched the series like 3 times already
Reminds me of Horton Hears a Who
That is so badass. Would be kind of cool to trip shrooms and watch it.
Neat.
WOW amazing thanks for sharing
I found it fascinating, especially when reaching the limits and arriving at quantum foam and string theory. And as for the great attractor, what the hell is that?? It was also surprising to see how small the moons of Mars are!
I work in a school and I've since shared this link with the science department.
ok, it's 4:42 am... and I finally finished reading everything on that... I feel like a nerd simply because I knew a good 70% of the information that was in there... but seeing it all scaled out was amazing!
Glad you guys liked it, seemed like the sort of thing you might appreciate a peak at, i read it all through and really looked at everything in comparison to the the things before and after it and it took me a few hours, i had to put some music on though cos that little tune drove me crazy :)
Bump, for those who missed it :)
Def one of the coolestthings ive seen on the net. Sharin it everywhere. Thanx.
