You're nothing. Nothing!

Really awesome. I like vids like these because they always find a way to put things into perspective.

Astounding! 
However, infinities go both ways. I'd like to see a vid on how unbelievably huge we are. Both perspectives lead to the same conclusion, viz, that we ain't really what we think we are. I saw a vid on that a while back, but it's 3 a.m. and I ain't gonna look it up right now. I've got to be at work in just under a week.

I agree - thanks, Rum! Re: Both ways: Powers of Ten, which has been previously posted, methinks. I've seen others as well, as far back as the mid-70s.notFBM wrote:Astounding!

Your wish..
Actually this is one of the originals from way back, but it zooms right out and then in to molecular level.

The Known Universe: Thrilling. Didn't get any feeling about being small, though. Just pleasure at what a big field we have to play in.

God gave us all of that to play in. The universe is designed specifically for us.

Yeah, I know. And when I was a kid, the pasture land was put there just for me to kick around in.

Re: Another (superb) look at how small we really are vid
I enjoy all these vids (the Hubble deep space shots, Pale Blue Dot, etc) but I've found that they tend to sail right over the heads of creationists. I despaired of ever finding something adequately free of concepts like "numbers" but still sufficient to get the point across, but then I remembered this:
Who needs a signature anyway?
