This gives you a really good idea of the scale of everything. It also lets you see just how small some things are and how vast the universe is (based on what we know so far): User Link

It is really impressive. Gives you a great idea of the orders of magnitude...  I don't know now wether to feel small or feel huge...

Because it's from our perspective, humans are kind of in the middle of the scale (not in terms of proportion but in terms of scale examples). Proportionally, we're not really middle-of-the-road, we're actually among the tiniest things in the grand scale of things, but... Man, the Planck length sure is small.

It's humbling. Not just because we're so small compared to the size of the universe, but because there are things so small that we can barely even know they're there. Makes me wonder if it's possible for even smaller things to exist.

An earthworm can grow in length to 7m's eh? This I did not know. The music suits the presentation nicely. And to be honest, it did unnerve me as I continued out into the beyond.
