the universe so very large and we are so very small and insignificant. I know that may sound nihilistic but the point I’m trying to make is that in our tiny short lives we should not complain about trivial matters but instead look at the more important problems.

Hey that is a really nice comparisson (and site). I think I jsut better go ahead and add you to my bookmarks. Hope you don’t mind if I borrow a picture and traceback to your post?

also you may want to check out http://paradineshift.wordpress.com/2006/07/26/worldprocessor/

There is a link there to World Processor, a good historical representation of many things on earth, using different texture maps over the earth. For example, You can see the mountains of 3rd world debt, as well, 3d mountains rising above the geographical land mass.

Nice blog.

Wow! The earth is so small. It still amazes me that we, the people that inhabit this planet, still can’t see the real picture, a true perspective of our existence. Why can’t we all just… get along?

Thanx for the reality check.

Hi! I saw this comparision some time ago while researching material for my son´s first grade planets project. Still it staggers my imagination everytime I see it.

How big are the pieces of land that we are fighting for in so many parts of the world, again?

41. On September 27, 2006 Egat wrote:

@ Bish

The pieces of land are pretty small in the grand scheme of things. But I would say they’re a mite more fertile and valuable to a human than a plot 1 million times the size on say antares, or even mars…

Hi,
I keep returning to this site just to view these objects but this is the first time I have been compelled to reply. Observing this information is dumbfounding, almost.
At this point in time science has deduced that the Universe they can imagine is all there is BUT one must consider that it is within something, Space, and no one knows how large Space is.
The Big Bang theory states that matter of some sort exploded and brought us to where we are today.
Has it ever occurred to anyone that two or more objects may have collided, and that collision brought about our Universe?
So science can’t see, or imagine, objects beyond their present scope, and therefore they don’t exist.
I contend that they do exist we are just not able to use our present technologies to see them.
If one is to imagine that objects so massive; say on the scale of our moon to Antares or lager objects,, colliding the output would be horrendous. That would create a Universe.
That’s my two cents.
