zoom out on life for a while, see how small size we are on earth

[imanmjfanforever]

Things like this... make me feel like nothing..so small...so insignificant

[fluffehtoaster]

ok,

first of all that was not even close to a good deminstation to how small the earth is (watch khan academy).And if you look at how huge every thing is there is no doubt that there is life everywhere!

[TheTalalm]

This video is amazing......Peace to the beleivers!

[mrjzxv]

how how many microns is VY Canis Majoris?

[71homeboy]

We are very significant indeed. We play a major role in space exploration. Ok, were not quick off the ball but thats only because space projects get back benched by politicians who favour to spend what little resources we have on pointless wars. But since humans first took flight we have come a long way. there are trillions more galaxies with inteligent life form trying to reach beyond there own galaxy, but humans won't meet them, our fates already sealed, we will extinct ourself long before.

[Redflowers9]

and apparently there might be an infinite amount of universes... heh!?

[helenlasham]

I love your animation, but I think it would be good to leave it up to the viewers to determine their place in the universe. We are powerful beyond measure, your small mind does not know this and so your comments reflect that, however, your soul does know. Speak from your spirit rather than the scientific data you've been fed and your next draft will be truly inspirational. Thanks for the trip H

[keshia14]

@helenlasham we are powerful beyond measure in our lives and affecting the lives of others but the beauty of this video, is realising that there is something infinitely bigger than ourselves, the human race, and that our issues are non existent in that context. I think it is a peaceful and spiritual thought to accept our insignificance

[eluap]

Our minds are contained in the universe...the universe is potentially contained in our minds. Life on Earth is the best kept secret in the universe.

[xgenslave]

15 million km? it is 150 million km before making a video, notice to look at the words,

[vigelic]

@xgenslave that has been pointed out 9 months ago and I've included an annotation to that effect. please read the annotation and the previous comments

[bitterbonker]

As above, So below, As within, So without

[stoinge]

We are insignificant, so let's get our head out of our arse's an look up man.Don't be fooled by the soap opera we play on this spec of dust compared to the size of what's out there.Be humbled and have perspective,it's a nice feeling.

[dany082000]

good job vigelic

greetings from egypt

[SecularSamurai]

As good a video as this is, I absolutely hate it when people use words like 'insignificant' to describe our species. Life on this planet is amazing, so is the universe. Just because something is small doesn't make it insignificant (think of all the microbes that kill strong carnivorous animals). Besides, when compared to neutrinos or super-strings at planck length we are bigger than the universe compared to us.

[vigelic]

@SecularSamurai actually my first question in the video is how significant are we humans on Earth. The answer is that we're VERY significant against all the other creatures on our own planet. However, my next question was whether the Earth itself is significant in this universe, which is a relative question and up to the viewer to decide for themself (:

[fairhillnorrie]

despite all this and the earth just a speck in the milky way,i could see my house..so there!!!

[KoxboxDK1]

No, we are not alone in this dark space, we've never been.. We've never been alone on this planet, but that's another story.. We'll all know why, sooner than you might like..

[nellieou]

Please stop the nonsense about not being significant because of size. It hurts my boyfriend's feelings. ;)

[AwesoMarron]

If you associate significance with size, then nothing at all is really significant, since in the end everything is just a dot in a greater picture.

Also, between a 1.5 ton Chevrolet Corvette and a 15 ton boulder, which would you rather own? which would be more useful for you? which would mean more to you?

[PsychedelicFerret]

the earth significant? nope

[lovekat62]

But we HAVEN'T been left alone in this dark corner - we've been visited by other races for millennia.

[43Male]

quit the music you idiots dam

[onarollof4]

of course theres other life out there, you would have to be deluded to hink there isnt, but to answer your question, the universe rotats and mashes our solarsystems together to dreate more in its own circle of life, we may be small specks of dust BUT we are still alive therefor WE ARE significant, we are living proof that life exists and that the universe is not simply wasting time destroying and remaking itself, now ive had my opinion you answer me. are we significant?

[crmrz1]

pick a pot of peppers q y x z a b c d r e d y yay! i love sesame street

When God was creating the universe, he said. "hmmm....where should i put the universe.....?"

[vigelic]

@KempSAB "while you cannot use it" ??

[Simo2009BORO]

erm if the sun was 15 million km from us we would be dead

150 million km is what you mean i think

[vigelic]

@Simo2009BORO that has been pointed out 2 months ago and I've included an annotation to that effect. sorry for the missing zero~

[Simo2009BORO]

@vigelic oh yeah sorry!! but also the sun is 1 million times bigger than earth not 333 333.

[avginfo911]

ive watch a video that says that the pattern youve made is an exploded star .. well , that scary ..

[vigelic]

@avginfo911 Please elaborate. What pattern are you referring to?

[cpclmbass]

I can see Earth from my house.

[crmrz1]

@cpclmbass becuase you live on venus how does it look there i wonder how life on venus is greeting earthling no no no not that button waaa!

[LifeChronicles9211]

Beautiful, Beautiful video!

[robjbray]

you know what , if the milky way is at the centre of the universe then perhaps earth is a one off and the big bang and every thing around us expanding outward is justt like cracked egg shell, perhaps we are the centre of the universe and the only life?

hmmmm may be not

[vigelic]

@robjbray i never said the milky way's at the centre... where'd you get that "if" from?

[picler321]

wow i can see my self:O

[barbaro267]

@KempSAB Gravity is only a theory. Yes many things support its claims, but it has a lot of gaps (like anti-gravity). Nothing you can't SEE has proof that it exists. Gravity, protons and neutrons, and even dark matter, all are just hypothesized and theorized to explain the world. God, in some cultures, is no different, like Greek mythology (although in real life he is a living BEING not just something mankind came up with)

[cutezfairysakura]

this video is absolutely depressing so many people up to the point that they will treat themselves as tiny as dust ..

[MetaflowUK]

does nobody else find this at all depressing?

[barbaro267]

@KempSAB I am not a bundle of sticks or a homosexual. You and I both know that God hasn't shown himself to us in order to make us believe in him. But believing in God is like believing in gravity. You don't see Him and you can't touch Him...but He is there! That's what faith is for. I see nothing wrong in believing in something bigger than yourself...it gives life meaning :)

[barbaro267]

@KempSAB that makes NO sense. If you want to argue this, don't do it here. Go to a debate against theologians. Prepare better arguments please because yours has no proof and is therefore invalid

[MrPneumonia]

This really shows how small we really are. In this universe, we are but a microscopic preon. In this galaxy, Earth is nothing more than an atom, just one of hundreds of billions. SuperAsdf1000 was right. This video was depressing, but it also opened our eyes and showed us our true size. Well done, vigelic.

[barbaro267]

@KempSAB says you. Last time I checked, fiction never crossed into reality. If God was fiction, then life would not exist as we knew it. Life would have no purpose.

[199112171433]

[barbaro267]

GOD IS AMAZING!

[TimpBizkit]

God hears a Who

[holik99]

sun is 150 000 000 km away from us not 15 000 000km

[vigelic]

@holik99 oops i am so sorry for the typo. will highlight it.

[vigelic]

@vigelic done. the average distance is 149,597,870.7km (:

[shivabalgobin10034]

god dam, we're nothing in this universe. and to think we argue and yell and fight for land and money, and other material objects. no money in the world can make us any stronger or important in our universe.

[unreal1one]

Nice.

[SuperAsdf1000]

god damn this video is deppressing its making me want to kill myself

[vigelic]

@SuperAsdf1000 you should cherish your life(span).

[3tangle3]

@SuperAsdf1000 why is it depressing you are part of the universe,the universe is part you

[keshia14]

@SuperAsdf1000 I find it really comforting. Its nice to know that we are just here to enjoy and experience all that life has to offer and that our problems and mistakes really do not matter in the scheme of things. Really very peaceful thought

[TheGayMushroom]

The chances of the trillions of other planets having life is high and maybe those planets are more advanced than us and have their own satellites to take picture and explore, maybe they'll discover out planet and see that we harbour life and fly over here, maybe the life in these other planets has evolved so they cant die and cant feel pain so it would be a possibility for them to fly here. Maybe this wont happen until another billion years, maybe by then we would have found a way to get to them

[Glennfalconi]

I love astronomy. But i hate the 'WE'RE UNIMPORTANT' thingy. It's not really a fact i enjoy listening to.

[Glennfalconi]

And lol, venus is smaller than the earth.

[Glennfalconi]

Tch, well guess what? I'm 1.91! Take that sun! AHAHAHAHAH!

[TheFourthHouse]

If only more "important" (politicians namely) could realize the implications of just how small we are in the Universe. Every event that occurred in human history had no true meaning in this universe. We truly are meaningless creatures, and spend our time worried, stressed and fearful. This is the error of the human way, we should spend our days happy and enjoy life. Too many things in our society (and the society structure itself) prevent this. Sad, really.

[TheBlueBandYTAccount]

All cool and stuff, but of course are we something. Don't forget you can show either the steps of increasing seize as steps decreasing in size. If we go smaller and smaller we will eventually find Quars, Leptoquard etc. Wich make protons, elektrons and neutrons, These can be instable, making it send out Helium-atoms, energy (from a collapse with a neutron) and elektrons (a neutron can turn in a proton and an elektron). This all takes place in the organism, so yeah. Life IS something special!

[arxaa]

that song made me sleep

[FaithDeeFlett]

This is an amazing video! I like it a lot :)

[eraseyouu]

What does size have to do with significance? If we are the only ones,no matter how small ( and size is only relative anyway, making it null and void) then we are the most significant things/beings in the Universe. We are aware of our existence while everything else is not.

[zoltec88]

MY FRIEND WE ARE THE BIGGEST THING OUT THERE! WHILE OTHERS HAVE NOTHING BUT GAS ROCK ICE WE HAVE THE BEAUTY OF (LIFE)....AND YOUTUBE LOL

[Nerdsown]

Not bad for armature attempt, universe is 78billion lights across btw, that would of been a good fact, oh and there r 1sextillion stars in the universe: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 =p

[int1901]

how can you say that somethi9ng small or big,.. maybe to human,.. but in universe there is no such a thing,..

[vigelic]

@int1901 yes we can, because small or big is relative to what we are talking about. we are smaller than earth, earth is smaller than the sun, and so on and so forth. Please ask your english, science, and maths teacher about the usage of "small" and "big" and what is "relativity". Your maths teacher can explain to you the difference between relative and absolute values. Your english teacher can teach you descriptive terms, and your science teacher can teach you the theory of relativity (: thanks

[int1901]

@vigelic you got a point there,.. well I study physics, so I know what relativity is,.. i just need some help with English :) since I am not from us. When i meant big or small i meant relativity. you know what happened at high speed,... then you have different dimensions,.. different universes,..

[piensci150]

the largest star known,discovered is VY CANIS MAJORIS

[TheTimePeriod]

VY Canis Majoris is the biggest sun

[vigelic]

*that humans know of so far*

[TheTimePeriod]

?????

[vigelic]

Nobody knows for sure how large the largest star is because not every corner of the universe has been explored.

[HybridACO]

@vigelic

it probly wil be the size of an milky way

[Patatje122]

@vigelic Jup. We can only see 6%.

[sux4uXD]

cool

[OSHKOSHMYGOSH]

haha that was amazing, but that last bit..

i was just waiting for..

" are we anythign at all?

is there anythign else out there?

is my cheese sandwich ready?

perhaps, perhaps not," haha

[abadon115]

very good video

keep it up:)
