I figured I'd post before watching the video.

Just in case.

Fantastic - wonder what is outside the estimated size of the Universe....

 

[Mr. H.]

Welp, I survived.

Really keen stuff, and a great interface.

 

[The Infidel]

Damn, thats crazy!!

Dude you are money tonight!

Boggles the mind, doesn't it?

Yes it does.... I was amazed at how 'small' the lenght of light speed was in relation to it all

 

[Mr. H.]

The Universe is Super-Being!

The scale in my bathtub drain is larger than a uranium nucleus.

Yeah, not sure what happened to the site.

Seems to be working now.

It just directed me to the 4chan page. I've seen this before and loved it the first time I saw it. I think our concept of size is often very wrong, or rudimentary at best. It's incredibly hard to try and encompass the two extremes of size and just how large or small some things are.

Thanks for that link. The one I posted is a little sketchy for some reason.

Thank you. The first link would not work, that one did. Now you add the fourth dimension, time, and the history of just what has happened on this planet in the last 4.5 billion years, and we get a true measure of the present universe we inhabit.

Like the last lines in this song. Time to start the measure of the universe, and that of man;

That would be another cool thing for someone to put together. I took a survey course in geologic history as an undergrad and I found it somewhat difficult to wrap my mind around the scale of time they were talking about. It seemed strange to talk about things like the K-T extinction 66 million years ago like it happened last week. It makes our 200,000 year time here seem like a split second.

 

[Old Rocks]

Yes, 65 or 66 million years measured against 4.5 billion does seem small, then measure a million years against the lifespan of even the longest lived human, and the mind boggles. And then you have the activity of the continental plates, which in our lifespan seem so solid and immovable. Here is the movement in less than 1/4 of our planets lifespan;
