In a universe so large let’s never think more of ourself than necessary, while also remembering that although we are very small in physical size compared to giants such as Antares, just as the moon reflects the light of the sun.. so to the stars reflect the light of love that comes from the human spirit.
Never forget how critical our role is, to love and be loved unconditionally.. knowing that we are all dust in the solar winds!
that kind of eliminates the meaning of big or small. what if Antares is only as big as an atom? and there’s an even bigger world out there. strange to think about \:d/
I’m sure there are even bigger stars waiting for discovery. By the time we see them, it’s already billions of light years old. Who knows exactly what’s happening to them RIGHT NOW when the light we see in the sky is that old??!!
The Total Perspective Vortex derives its picture of the whole Universe on the principle of extrapolated matter analyses. To explain - since every piece of matter in the Universe is in some way affected by every other piece of matter in the Universe, it is in theory possible to extrapolate the whole of creation - every sun, every planet, their orbits, their composition and their economic and social history from, say, one small piece of fairy cake.
The man who invented the Total Perspective Vortex did so basically in order to annoy his wife. Trin Tragula - for that was his name - was a dreamer, a thinker, a speculative philosopher or, as his wife would have it, an idiot.
And she would nag him incessantly about the utterly inordinate amount of time he spent staring out into space, or mulling over the mechanics of safety pins, or doing spectrographic analyses of pieces of fairy cake.
‘’Have some sense of proportion!'’ she would say, sometimes as often as thirty-eight times in a single day. And so he built the Total Perspective Vortex - just to show her.
And into one end he plugged the whole of reality as extrapolated from a piece of fairy cake, and into the other end he plugged his wife: so that when he turned it on she saw in one instant the whole infinity of creation and herself in relation to it.
To Trin Tragula’s horror, the shock completely annihilated her brain; but to his satisfaction he realized that he had proved conclusively that if life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion.
Douglas Adams was an amazing vouyer with an articulate way of expressing himself (I wish he would have written more). I wonder what he would have done with String theory, todays prevailing Physics ‘theory of everything’ that says the entire universe is in fact composed of tiny strings [perhaps they total 42] the 11 dimentions (our 3 spacial dimentions plus time {or as Dr Sues would say “11 this is something new I wish I had 11 too}), “M” theory and the uncanny connection to what Jewish mysticism said about the universe’s makeup some 2000 years ago being made up of 10 spheres and strings of energy (+1 made up of time) 6 of which “fell” (or as todays scientests will tell you, shrunk) {Did I really call Douglas Adams A Vouyer?} Here’s a link to PBS’s Nova video on demand miniserries explaining some of this: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/program.html Steve cg3p9@yahoo.com
ok antares is………………%-( big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cam not belv the ther wos a star bigger than tha sun coooooooooooooooooooool!:) :( :d :">:((\:d/:x8-|/:):o

hmm. i feel so insignificant now…
nice pics
You know how some people say the planets are just Cheerios in a big bowl? The Earth doesn’t even look like a marshmallow compared to those things@-)!

OMG, this world is too big to think. :o

Put a man in the above picture and compare, which makes above comparison useless coz for our size earth is enough big.
so this must be the very foundations of the idea for the Total Perspective Vortex. Hehe….sorry, some Douglas Adams humor seemed appropriate.;)

That’s good comparison !
As a christian I am not that big surprised for we know the Creator is magnificent!

I must agree with Aaron Stokes.this is so true!
[…] Think Earth is big? How about Jupiter or our sun? Here’s a little something to get some new perspective. astronomy cool […]
thank you so much .. you’re very knowledgeable.. :)
AOA,
the mails shared by u r usually gud.........thankyou...........
Kind regards,
Majida
