The Truth of US
    #7547705 - 10/22/07 05:09 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

After watching some videos on the size of the universe such as this one http://www.deepastronomy.com/hubble-deep-field.html, and smoking some good bud, I had some thoughts...

If you ask a person if a 5 mile walk is far, they will say, “Ya! That would take about and hour!”

If you ask a marathon runner if 5 miles is long, they will say, “Eh, not really...”

If you ask a person if a 5 mile car ride is long, they will say, “Nah...”

If you ask a person who drives for a living if 5 miles is long, they will say, “No not at all.”

If you ask an airplane pilot if 5 miles is long, they will say, “5 miles is nothing!”

Funny isn’t it. 5 miles can certainly seem like a lot of different things, depending on who you ask. Now what about an astronomer... What if we ask them if 5 miles is long? A likely response would be, “Hahahaha, 5 miles is a grain of sand on the beach... 156 billion light years is a long distance. That’s the diameter of the universe...”

Here is another way of expressing how insignificant we are...

Language. Words are small things. Think how many words such as these are in 5 miles. And we have already shown how small 5 miles is. Now think of this. Words. These incredibly small things. These insignificant arrangement of letters are the most powerful things on the planet. Words decide the outcome of nations, words create happiness and love, words cause the death and destruction of millions... And yet, these incredibly powerful, these incredibly small for the purpose they serve, these words don’t exist 10 miles further out in space. If we travel to another planet, words to anyone/anything we encounter there are completely meaningless. Something that holds incredible power in our sphere of life, holds no meaning a tiny distance away. Something that binds our species together, something that makes our style of life possible, are as insignificant as a grain of sand on another planet...
