You don't even know what “big” is

Such is the name of this mindblowing (and never has a metaphorical sense been so close to being literal) video I’ve finally remembered to post here. Been meaning to do so for a while, now. Let’s just say …

We are nothing at all.

Nothing to be said. Just awe at how freakin’ … dang, no words fit here to describe the size of the world around us, and beyond the confines of our beloved little blue speck of dust known as Earth.

And the best part? That’s just the minute portion of the Universe we can see at the moment. It’s like taking a glass, plunging it in the ocean, capturing a few small fish and thinking that those are the largest there is.

Wait ’til your glass hits the blue whale.

God damn, science is cool.
