Do you know where you live?

Antisocial one · 06-07-2008, 01:24 PM

I have said that I have things to teach/show so here is one.

This scientific video does a lot of scaling, comparing sizes of many objects and plenty of zooming out.
And try to think in 3-D.

If you are not science geek this could be shocking for you.

In case that someone does not understand video I will be happy to explain it for him.
I recommend watching this in full screen mode wich can be activated by clicking on two gray rectangles wich are in down/right angle near video screen (this is in case that someone does not know that).

Yeah, we get it, space is fairly large.

Though I have always been well aware of this fact (science geek and NF) this helped me to visualize it better.

Do I need to eat a small piece of fairy cake?

i love how it shows the web of galaxies at the end, that is so intriguing.

How much must be done to prove/display how small and insignificant we are? I'm cutting my wrists already, what more do you want from me?!

Really though, that's pretty friggin mind blowing.
