thanks so much for this! Having a ball right now, finding out about the mysteries of our universe seems to be the best thing to do when you can't sleep

"Minecraft world" serious?

Very insightful - tells us so much about how big we are (compared to the Planck length) or how small we are (compared to anything larger than the Earth).

pretty awesome :) i spent a good 10 minutes slowly zooming in and out and looking at a few things at each size. humbling how small we are in comparison to things like a megametre and how large we are in comparison to a yocometre (did i spell that right?) lol
