Re: Scale model of the known universe
Wow, that was just incredible to see. I always feel a real sense of almost overwhelming awe, fear, inspiration, hauntedness, loneliness, smallness, vastness... everything when contemplating the vastness of the Universe. Yeah. Good find, thanks Blissed!

Re: Scale model of the known universe
Very interesting and beautifully done. If you liked that, you'll probably like this, as well, although this [quite old] film concentrates more on the relative sizes in powers of 10 and the speeds required to view them.

It really does make you wonder if you really are just a fluke of the universe --- per the Deteriorata
