Scale of the Universe

Enjoy. I found this by reading down to the bottom of Greg Easterbrook's Tuesday Morning Quarterback column on ESPN.com

Click on the source link then click play. Then push the blue square over to the left. Slowly drag to the right and let your mind take it all in. Try not to fall into a thought-induced catatonic state, especially if you are at work.


TOPICS: Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: universe
Things like this really reinforce my belief in a divine creator. I just don't see how this wonderful universe could have just 'happened'. But maybe that's just me.

I agree. There has to be a master architect.

Here’s an interesting little video about start sizes from our little sun to supergiant VY Canis Majoris and its minisule in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks for a great post.

When I was young and seeking answers two things were instrumental in confirming my faith:

Understanding, as much as possible, the marvel of life itself, from the smallest to largest known forms.

Understanding what I was seeing when I looked at the sun and the night sky.

A lifelong ambition!

I found this video of the Sun and a giant 'thread' snapping to be worth seeing.

That graphic just proves that those people smoking pot who talk about life on different scales, were right all along.
