    Unbelievable. Scrolling to the left reminded me too much of Leaving Cert Physics so I opted more for the right hand side. Incredible size comparisons. Thanks for that.

    Also, I never realised that Texas was only the second largest American state in terms of land area. I'd completely forgotten just how big Alaska is.

    I've seen visual comparisons of the sizes of planets and stars, but not stuff at the microscopic scale. Very interesting.

    "Estimated size of the universe."

    Huh? We have an estimate for that? What do we believe to be beyond that estimated space?

    No matter? Who the f*ck knows. The whole thought of infinity is weird to me. How can something go on forever?

    Biggest thing in the Universe? I see no evidence of your mother's whorism.
