Title: How big is the universe?
Post by: DigitalBuddha on March 25, 2012, 04:01:21 AM
One big awesome place, mang!  :o

Check it out - http://www.bbc.com/future/bespoke/space_infographic

Or, check out the Total Perspective Vortex - http://hitchhikers.wikia.com/wiki/Total_Perspective_Vortex

;D Total Perspective Vortex -Originally created by its inventor Trin Tragula as a way to get back at his wife (who always told him to get a "sense of proportion"), the TPV is now used as a torture device on the planet Frogstar. In a small chamber, you are presented with a 3-D model of the entire universe in exacting detail. In that model is a microscopic dot with the legend "you are here" printed on it.

Oh of course...I can't watch that video because...I'm in England and the BBC is British.
