to continue where dan left off, these galaxies are part of clusters, which are themselves part of superclusters. Each of these superclusters line up to create strange lines called filaments. These filaments make up a weblike structure. This weblike structure, If you were to look at the whole thing, would make the filaments seem microscopic. And that's just the KNOWN universe
It may be true that 99% of people on this planet alone are just small specs in this small corner of the Multiverse but at least we a can be proud of what Humanity has acheived in the past 2000 years and what it will acheived in the next 2000 years, ever that or you could just blow up a school or something, just saying.
Your barely finding out about the size of the universe?! You got to be kidding! First of all we're very significant as a species, we're unique, we're number one! The rest of the stuff your talk about you're just barely finding out! I can't believe it! Come on idiot tell me your kidding.
@libraryquiet yes we are unique as a species just like every other species. and we are specs that the rest of the universe has nothing to do with. don't tell me you think we are really special because we're human
@puckle3 We are very significant and special as humans. I'll tell you why. First of all the largest known star can't even think..., we can. Galaxies can't see..., we can. And until the day we make contact with another intelligent species our sun is more special than any star in the whole universe because it has an orbiting planet with abundant life! In fact your brain is more vast and complex than the entire cosmos! And it's responsible for everything YOU have ever known! We're numero uno!
Okay I'm sorry, but when I heard him say "There's one-hundred BILLION of those too!" talking about galaxes, I had to laugh out loud. It was just funny the way he said it, like "god damn". lol
@slack7639 There is complete correlation. You cannot affect anything in the universe, and in a few decades you will disappear and even the smallest traces of you EVER existing will disappear a few centuries after, (and if you're convinced there'll STILL be traces, then give it a billion years,) and the universe will continue to exist, with your time period of existence being nothing but an extremely small percentage of it. And I mean _extremely_ small, even if you consider your entire race.
@Blade5468 My physical being is insignificant - Ok, if you look at it that way - but why would I frame it that way? I guess I would if I didn't believe in God. How do you answer this question: What is the chief end of man?
@slack7639 I'm not asking you to frame it that way, and it has nothing related to believing in God. It's just fact.
The chief end of man (which is such stupidly fancy wording, but I mean that hardly matters) is to live as a whole and survive and evolve. The meaning of the individual isn't as great as the meaning of the whole evolving together. Even when one of us dies, the rest of us live on, with that man's contribution added. Of course, then we all die, but there's no going around that :X
@Blade5468 An insignificant fact in my opinion. The world & life is too complex to think that you're just an random accident & insignificant. Do you know how complex the DNA is for even the simplest organism? How could that come about from random acts of nature? I think each of us was specifically created by God to have a relationship with Him, to know him, & that you are special, & that He loves you. He's given us free will & makes His presence known in our lives, He wants to let us choose.
@slack7639 The world & life ARE too complex for them to not have been carefully created.
But that doesn't mean the creator is the same concept that people are attaching to books so that they can get their beliefs down society's throat.
I don't believe in the God that you people (where "you people" refers to whoever started/participates in this whole organized religion ordeal) created, I believe in the God that potentially existed at one point.
@Blade5468 Do you accept the historical record of Jesus' existence? It is well established. Then, in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 15:3-6 it says that Jesus rose again on the third day, that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve, after that, he was seen of more than 500 brethren. 500 people saw him! Can your average human rise from the dead? People aren't stupid. They don't believe this for no reason. He also did many other miracles and healings.
@slack7639 I don't know or care for what happened, but I know that Christianity is sheer rip off of Judaism and that doesn't have much backing it up aside from a book.
@slack7639 Cause you made up some more stories about a fancy Jew, doesn't really matter. I don't care for Christianity at all, but your entire mentality is way too narrow minded. I'm tired of this discussion, sorry.
@JJAB91 Why are you so concerned about it? You really that lonely? I left that comment a couple months ago. Wasn't trying to start some huge discussion. Leave it alone.
@spaghettiisFOB 100,000,000,000 is just a random number of measurement that Dan or Dan's astronomy teacher decided to use. The actual number has not yet been predicted and probably won't be any time soon, so stop making random figures up.
@andreasfr1 pluto isnt concidered a planet any more as of 2006.. it is a concidered a dwarf planet.. so now there are 8 planets 5 dwarf planets and count less numbers of small bodies (comets and other spacy things)
this sounds a lot like what douglas adams wrote... also, there are way more than a hundred billion galaxies. in fact, one of the reasons that we're blinded to the matter is because of dark matter. but regardless of that, the universe is actually too big to comprehend. even the way you did it, you've still compared humans as some form of mass. really, if you would understand the size, you would need a large map of the universe, with an invisible dot labelled, 'you are here.'
Isn't the universe ever expanding as well?? and not only is it expanding, its not even expanding as fast as it can because what is speculated to be "dark matter" that is holding it back
lol my dad bought a mother's day card for me to sign today and it said 1 in 1 milliion on it and im thinking "it's mother's day, im supposed to compliment my mom, not insult her!"
oh jstu by the way, this is jsut in the obsarvable universe, waht we can see. we cant see further becasue light only travels so far and we can only realy see from the start of the universe
There is a star that makes the sun like the a dwarf star... called VY Canis Majoris... the largest star we know about right know.. look it up on googl the f ing thing is HUGE!!!!
hey i have my own gravitational pull its extremely miniscule but truth is we all have a gravitational pull explaination from physics every mass has a gravitational pull i do not mean if every human animal if put together would be enough to create a blackhole i mean we all have a pull
Somewhat in response to your newest video Dan, this is one of the biggest reasons I'm an atheist. With the universe so vastly immense there is almost a certainty of life elsewhere. I can't imagine us(humans)... as insignificant as we are, in the same form as the creator of the universe. If there is some "higher power" it is far beyond our comprehension and almost certainly not like us in the slightest.
YAAAAY! HORRAY OR THE TINY AND INSIGNIFICANT!! but, i must point out something a great doctor once told me. a person is a person. no matter how small. ^.^ oh... excuse me... i'm tearing up... so meaningful!
...And we are made up of body parts,and those body parts are made up of fat and bones and muscles and stuff, and that stuff is made up of cells and those cells are made up of something....it goes on and on!!!
But it doesn't stop there. Throughout the universe, there are giant walls made up of superclusters. There are more superclusters in 1 wall than you can ever imagine. There are about 10 known walls and in between those walls, there are ENORMOUS spaces of empty nothingness.
Then you have clusters, which consist of a a shitload of galaxies that are 'near' to eachother. And guess what, there are 100 billion if those too! And we can even go further. Superclusters are enourmous clouds of clusters. Each supercluster consists of apporximately 100 billion clusters.. O.O
This all is very very true. 1 person alone is insignifigant, but together, we're a pretty big community & I mean every single person on this Earth.
And we can't really be THAT insignificant if we're causing global warming, which is obviously a very bad thing but it proves my point.
Together all of us, we can do a lot. But thats not to say we're bigger then the sun or the earth or the Universe in general but we can make a pretty big impact.
I'm taking Astronomy right now, and I'll agree. It's really depressing. it's why I pretend the world is flat, or disc-like... And the stars are tears in the celestial dome above us... Makes me feel much better...
i always think of how does the universe end or what does it come to?!?! it really bothers me to think about and this question has bugged me for as long as i can remember. do u have/know any theories anyone? thx
We ARE significant. YOU being able to read this is a HUMAN and you process billions of commands EVERY SECOND! Heart beat, reading this, tempture,colour,sound,touch.....BUZZZAAABLAH! Your part of the most, intelligent species on the planet, the MOST addaptive species, you can choose to swim, or stay on land. Your an amazing knowledgeable creature, teaching even the slickest cat to read this would take 100years, but you only took about 1min(all asuming your a normal human.)
I don't think that you are part of the most intelligent species on the planet considering the fact that you were trying to sound smart and mis-spelled quite a few words in your comment. FAIL
Whatever. I wasn't trying to SOUND intelligent, just make a point. Right? Don't waste your life, Don't even read this, are you reading this? Then your wasting your life, get a job.
Hmmm... well, I wonder how the neutrinos would feel if they were intelligent life. I'd be like a universe to them. Everyone knows The Dan Brown Universe is the largest though. Top of the charts.
Well, I don't exactly feel insignificant, just rather amazed that in all of that space, we exist period... when as far as we know few solar systems can actually sustain carbon based life, which makes me feel pretty special to be here :) Insignificant speck and all. Another thing to point out.... as the universe is infinitely big, so is it infinitely small...
you forgot to mention that the sun is in pretty much the lowest class of stars for size, there are stars out there that are to the sun what the earth is to the sun
Apparently it's because I have a link, but it won't let me post it and putting "(dot)" instead of "." isn't working. >:\
ANYWAY.
This kind of stuff totally freaks me out every time I look at it. I like feeling small, it makes me feel safe. :) Anyway, I freaking love astronomy. Dan Brown, YOU ARE COOL.
think abt all the power recquired to make all that XD, could it even be possible for atoms ect. to have done it, even if it was powerful enough they wouldve had to have all came 2 1 point rite? somthin 2 thing abt
You seem to rely on size quite a bit in this video as a way of proving our "insignificance". How does size matter? Look at bacteria. The staff infection alone kills 60,000 to 80,000 a year. Is that insignificant?
the ended made the was good, i knew all this already but it still made me feel insignificant and a mental image of something zooming on me form the edge of the universe,

We ARE significant. YOU being able to read this is a HUMAN and you process billions of commands EVERY SECOND! Heart beat, reading this, tempture,colour,sound,touch.....BUZZZAAABLAH! Your part of the most, intelligent species on the planet, the MOST addaptive species, you can choose to swim, or stay on land. Your an amazing knowledgeable creature, teaching even the slickest cat to read this would take 100years, but you only took about 1min(all asuming your a normal human.)

If a star doesn't have a solar system then I has to be the most smallest star in the universe!

I don't think that you are part of the most intelligent species on the planet considering the fact that you were trying to sound smart and mis-spelled quite a few words in your comment. FAIL

Whatever. I wasn't trying to SOUND intelligent, just make a point. Right? Don't waste your life, Don't even read this, are you reading this? Then your wasting your life, get a job.

every star has a center of gravity. even if the smallest rock orbits it, it's considered a solar system.
talkissos 2 years ago
I didn't know that that was considered a solar system but now that i think about it makes sense.

Hmmm... well, I wonder how the neutrinos would feel if they were intelligent life. I'd be like a universe to them. Everyone knows The Dan Brown Universe is the largest though. Top of the charts.

Well, I don't exactly feel insignificant, just rather amazed that in all of that space, we exist period... when as far as we know few solar systems can actually sustain carbon based life, which makes me feel pretty special to be here :) Insignificant speck and all. Another thing to point out.... as the universe is infinitely big, so is it infinitely small...

you forgot to mention that the sun is in pretty much the lowest class of stars for size, there are stars out there that are to the sun what the earth is to the sun

galaxies aren't even the biggest things in the universe and there are stars that are waaaaay bigger than the sun.

ANYWAY.
This kind of stuff totally freaks me out every time I look at it. I like feeling small, it makes me feel safe. :) Anyway, I freaking love astronomy. Dan Brown, YOU ARE COOL.

You seem to rely on size quite a bit in this video as a way of proving our "insignificance". How does size matter? Look at bacteria. The staff infection alone kills 60,000 to 80,000 a year. Is that insignificant?
