No one can fathom a number even close to that, but I am sure it all happened by accident?

No it wasn't an accident there's a guy in the sky that threw it all together. Derp.

 

[cygon]

our minds are simply not capable of understanding it all currently, doesn't mean there is a god behind all of it, exploring the knowledge of the universe should remove any belief in god, it's simply ridiculous.

Where did that guy come from?

Where did that guy come from?

From another bigger guy and he was made by another guy and so on and so forth. Derp herp

Heres something else crazy to think about. What if your protons and neutrons were suns with planets that had inhabitants. What if our solar system is just 1 proton in a mass of a living being?

Wow cool! I know that life is like a huge dream but never thought it this way! Maybe true.. seriously..

It'd be interesting to know what would be outside that giant living being? This puts stress on relevancy, nothing's too big or too small, its only how we compare them to some other thing... A proton may be too big a thing, or a galaxy may be too small a thing. It all depends, all this is some VERY complicated shit. I believe we aren't capable enough to judge it all..

How are our lives insignificant? Because there are massive balls of gas millions of miles away?

 

[careybaird]

Great, but I don't know where that gif starts or ends.... video?

I often think this, and it kinda scares me. don't know why

I like this one. Kids and I recently saw Hubble at the IMAX theater the other day. Made me feel small and it drives home the point on how small our problems really are when viewed in the larger context.
