This is a waaaaaaaaaaaaay cool scale model of the Solar System that shows just how freakin' HUGE our own "little" neck of the woods really is.

Actually, we know (or believe) that space can be bent and folded. We don’t have a clue how to do it.

The speed of light is approximately 186,000 miles per second. The Moon is roughly 240,000 miles from Earth.

That’s cool. Really puts it in perspective. My brother used to live in Alaska and there was a delay talking on the phone. It really takes some getting used to. You would keep talking over each other.

There are plenty of ideas out there on how to manipulate space-time. None, that I know of, are actually possible. At least not to a degree where it would be very noticeable.

God created ALL this in the blink of an eye. With the ease and wonder of a small child scattering colorful marbles out on the floor.

Our God is so Powerful!

Even here on Earth it limits the clock rate and size of computers. Slow, slow, slow.

Yet there are galaxies measured at about 13 point-something LIGHT YEARS from Earth, one light-year being the *distance* light travels in a year as at its speed of 186,000 miles/sec. It works out to about 5.9 TRILLION miles (ONE light year)

VY Canis Majoris is the largest known star I believe.

"I wonder if Pope Francis has even the slightest concept of how small we actually are and how little our effect can be compared to the massive sun/Son that controls our lives."

It doesn't sound like it.

I believe it’s somewhere between a cat’s and a mouse’s, size-wise.
