A slide that shows the scale of the universe in the classic "Powers of Ten" Format from the Planck length at 10^-35m, to the estimated size of the universe at over 10^26m..and everything in betwen.

I love God with all my heart, but I do not fit squarely into everyone's definition of Christianity so sites like this make my day. I love it! Thanks for sharing.

Very cool! The Powers Of Ten movie always fascinated me and put things in perspective growing up.

 

It's amazing (but scary) how much damage viruses can do compared to their size.

The universe is rather large. One might even call it voluminous. It is indeed sizable.

I wonder if the Universe ever just stops for a moment and thinks, I'm HUGE.

Saw this is during quantum physics. The teacher ended it with "while some people might think we're important, if Earth got vaporized, the universe wouldn't really notice." Our minds were too busy being blown to comprehend that as an insult.
