Title: And you thought the DS scaled well Post by: dusematic on June 22, 2006, 04:56:32 PM http://www.rense.com/general72/size.htm
Check this baby out. I found it pretty interesting. It makes me feel insignificant and worthless, but cosmically. It's like the idea of God, it's just a concept of immeasuribility I can't even begin to grasp.

Really though, I think the bigger mindfuck is trying to cope with just how much space is between objects in space in relation to Human-size. Nonetheless, we are all nothing in the scheme of things.

Realizing the vastness and extreme nature of the universe should teach us all how to take it easy.

Title: Re: And you thought the DS scaled well Post by: stray on June 22, 2006, 06:34:37 PM Not a hippy. Just did too much of the complete opposite, I guess.
Either way, I think it's the ultimate lesson of science. To try to have a cosmological perspective of thngs. And in that, the enlightenment gained from spiritualism or philosophy isn't much different. [edit] Don't shoot. Not trying to mess up the thread. Carry on.

Zoom all the way in on the map scren, and then zoom all the way out. Or get Celestia (http://www.shatters.net/celestia/) and mess around some in that (great program). Space is just mind-boggling.
