That's bad-ass. I teach that scale model to my students. But it is IMPOSSIBLE to do accurately and truly effectively. I'm not far from Black Rock. Field trip!!! | |||

Seen it before but definitely worth a repeat. Thanks for posting. We're just floating on this tiny ball in the middle of nowhere. | |||

I bet they could simulate the speed of light by doing a slow walk from the Sun to Earth by taking about 8 min. to get there. | |||

If the Sun were the size of a tennis ball and located in Dallas, TX - the Earth would be the size of a grain of sand and the next nearest star in Boston. The sky is full of a million micro-shards which have sparked as a result of two swords hitting each other. Our planet is orbiting one of those micro-shards as it fades away into nothingness. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

If you know who Louie Giglio is, you'll know this video is Christian Faith based. It's worth the watch as he puts the Earth's size in perspective. Shocking perspective.

If the nucleus of a single Hydrogen atom was the size of a Softball, and its lone electron was the size of a baseball, they'd be more than a mile apart... The amount of "space" in everything (diamonds, ice, our bones, steel, everything...) is nearly incomprehensible. | |||

Wait, what? |
It takes light 8 minutes to reach us from the sun; light takes a full 5.3 hours to reach Pluto. Light traveling to our nearest star (Alpha Centauri binary twin) would take about 4.3 years. At light speed, it would take some 26,000 years just to get to our galaxy's center. The closest major galaxy to ours, Andromeda, is 2.5 million light years away. When the Milky Way and Andromeda collide in 4 billion years, it is entirely possible that no stars will actually hit each other due to the vast distances between them. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Great video! Everyone on this planet should have the conception of how insignificant we really are -- regardless of which god you believe in (if you believe at all) or what politics you subscribe to. The few astronauts who have been to lunar orbit are the only ones who have seen it with their own eyes. And once you get a handle on that, you can ponder the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image of the edge of the observable universe. | |||

Nice...thanks for posting "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

And that nothing touches. Repulsive force sees to that. I tell people, you think you're touching the keyboard? Nothing is solid. It's an illusion. The only time matter touches is in the center of a black hole.  He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

Good video. Thanks. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||
