Thunk - Video

In order to not be lost, you have to not only know where you are, but when you are.

 

There comes a time in every young person's life when society forces its memes upon you under the guise of religion. I was one such lad, reading the bible, being told of how the universe was created by God just for us, and that we are the end all of existence.

Then one fine summer night, I had a chance to look through a telescope of note, at the Palomar observatory, and while I didn't find God or little green men up there, I did see enough of the heavens to know that in the grand scheme of things, between us and the sand particles, there is not much difference in the eyes of the cosmos. A rather humbling experience for sure.

But just how big is it you might ask, this difference between us and the furthest known reaches of the universe? Check out this music (trippy music at no extra costs!) and discover how we live at a power of 10 to the zero power, but what if you zoom out to 10 to the tenth power? You would find yourself on the furthest reaches of existence... So sit back, relax, and discover the significance of dimension. We are but specks of sand in the hourglass of time.
