I love stuff like this. And yes I feel insignificant compared to the grand scale of the universe.

That reminds me of an execution method in the hitchikers guide to the galaxy, they put you in a box and show you just how big the universe really is, and your brain implodes (dont quote me on that bit) from finding out how insignificant it is.

That was cool, but you don't even have to take it to that scale, just go up in a skyscraper and look at all the activity in a large metropolitan city to see that each of our individual lives is pretty insignificant to life as a whole on the planet.

Not for a second Hop, in fact I read somewhere earlier today. Stargazers are saying they've discovered another " Earth like" planet, in a galaxy far far away :lol: Seriously though, I'm looking forward to hearing more on this, I wonder what kind of guitars they strum there :lol:
Just found the link, for anyone interested.
