The Powers Of 10

This video shows both how big and small we are. IT BLOWS MY MIND ! ! ! ! ! !

@picksell Then you shoulndt think about the time of the universe...

Sounds like Bob MacDonald's voice. Any takers?

This video is extremely fascinating. During the first half, when we recede, the velocity increases by a factor of nine with every passing square. note that it takes ten seconds to pass each square. the velocity of light is crossed between 10^9 and 10^10. thats cos the speed of light is 3*10^8 meters/second and we are taking ten seconds to multiply the velocity by a factor of nine. awesome.

I found the picnic spot on wikimapia. The soldier field is now a football stadium. The place has changed a lot, but the shape of the docks and the roads will help you recognize it. dont forget to replace the (dot) with a real one.

How is it, that the entire Universe of understanding, fits onto the back of the retinas ?? : ) The Universe must be that small also.....

how insignificant does that make you feel haha
