I suggest going to Youtube, setting it to 720p and full screen.

Mind numbing... over 100 billion galaxies in the known universe.
Some people actually believe that us poor dumb humans on little ol' Earth are the only "intelligent" lifeforms created... Talk about naive! :thwap




"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space."

That's exactly what my wife and I said last night when we watched this.

And...there are BILLIONS of stars in each of those Galaxies. The numbers are (funny) astronomical!

Funny to see mankind roaming the outer space, but knowing only 1% of the oceans that regulate and influence our lives so much and the unkown life forms in the ocean. Stop the gulf stream and we will face another ice time within the next 50 years etc.

Cool vid anyways, I remember one of the other vids you posted, where they illustrated how small we really are and it was fantastic, too.

Just too bad I can only think of writing things that would violate forum rules here.

But anyway, awesome stuff, yeah!
