Does this make you feel small? (page 2)

DT....very true...and in a way...a bit scary.

Although...I'm not sure you can compare the size of a person and an atom to the size of the entire universe and ourselves....since we don't even know if the universe has a limit or is limitless. So we would have to put a restriction on the size to even compare ourselves to it.

That in itself is an interesting thought IMO...Are we restricted by our own limits?

tec....it certainly makes me feel in awe whenever I contemplate the universe...and as you say. Very humbling.

I like to think about it sometimes just to get things back in perspective when things just seem to big.

I suppose it’s not a question of size, the earth is a small garden in an immense desert. Each and every human is more valuable than millions of galaxies with all of their stars. Still the vastness of the Universe is humbling. God is no one to be mocked.

At the Natural Hist. Museum, they have a planetarium, and I go frequently. In trying to help us understand how small we are and how vast the universe is, they make a 3d grid for point of reference, and then take us further and further out into the known universe. I actually get a bit nauseated and panicky, and have to close my eyes now and then, it is so beyond belief. I feel like a speck of nothing when they do that part.
