I was just E-mailed this page. You'll need Java to get this to work, but for most people, that's no problem. Basically, it shows a picture of space, ... zooms in onto more space, ... and I'll just let you see it for yourself to find out ....
Just how small you really are. (http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/)
Scary, huh. :p

That was pretty sweet!
This thing (http://mirror.antiescapism.org/zoomquilt/zoom.htm) is pretty neat too. :)

That went on for longer than I thought. Nor did I have any idea of how many stars there are in this unpopular corner of the galaxy.
As fo TPT's... that is weird. Good. But weird. I wish our world was like that.
yeah, I've seen that before. my dad showed it to me about a month ago, when he recieved the link from a friend
pretty cool, though

That, of course, isn't the whole universe. The universe is actually an unsettingly big place.

If I had had the time to read it all, I would have, but my modem dislikes me today. ... * Points to s'mores clearly cooking over it. * I gotta replace that thing. :sweat:
What a totally unique way of viewing a comic. Next, someone should attempt a "slide show" (Similar to the magic quilt, but all horizontally) method of viewing comics. ... Once more, ... how amazingly creative.
