This is one of those facts I just can’t get my mind around no matter how much I think about it. Not only is the universe really really big, but atoms are really really tiny. Not to mention the fact that atoms are massive when compared to subatomic particles like neutrinos.

Fun Fact: A single speck of dust is halfway in size between a neutrino and the entire solar system… think about that for a second.

Also anyone who hasn’t tried the Scale of the Universe flash game, I seriously recommend you check it out right now. It will hurt your brain. In a good way.

Harsh.

But seriously, I understand people’s natural desire to assign some romantic meaning to stars (or planets), like making them represent a story, a person, the future, or whatever; but what could possibly be more romantic than being a 2 Octillion tonne thermonuclear plasma bomb? Or a backwards-spinning greenhouse volcano world which crushes spaceships?
