(First draft)

ever wondered how small we really are?

here's how small we are.

Note: The audio got cut off somehow. Will re-upload after edits anyway. This is just a draft. I think.

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

@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

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.

@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 (:

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

150 million km is what you mean i think

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

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

So we're ' small' when you actually 'think about it' ? Haha sir. The same concept can be applied to zooming-in infinitely on a tennis ball. You can keep going 'smaller' and 'smaller' as you would put it. An atom has an amount of space in it which occupies 1/1000000000th of the atom's size. That amount of space in the atom, to an even smaller amount of space, can be as large as our known universe seems to be to us. The concept of ' alternate dimensions' doesn't seem so absurd now, does it?

I Felt really lonely when I thought about us being the only planet with life on throughout all those galaxys :| <3

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.

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

@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

[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
