Or, how to feel small and insignificant.
Humans can't comprehend large numbers. It's only when a bigger and a smaller number or objects are placed side by side that the differences are obvious, and even then it can be hard to comprehend. The creators of the Scale of the Universe series have done a great thing here.
(The Large Hadron Collider is bigger than Vatican City? Seriously?)
(Actually it's bigger than Uluru as well. And the Titanic looks quite comfortable sitting next to the International Space Station.)
(I need to think a little.)
