The Hitchiker's Guide didn't lie about the size of space...

Uuuumm... this doesn't look to scale at all! Might I recommend this beautiful website: http://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html

which shows the entire solar system to complete, accurate scale.

Holy crud. I've been on this site for like ten minutes and still haven't made it through all of the planets...

You know, you can just hit the 2 arrows at the top to skip to the next message. Also, so you know, I didn't make this. Found it in a Vsauce video.

But then you don't get the full scale... It's an experience, I'll say.

Twice as far as the chemists, according to Adams, was it not?

That was a joke, for anyone objecting. He said something along those lines, but not quite that.

They added a scrollbar to that site. A valuable addition, I would say, as previously it was excellent at impressing the point, but somewhat boring too.

I just did middle-mouse scrolling. You should try it sometime.

(Click and hold scrollwheel, move mouse)

Even clicking on the arrows it still takes a while..

Wow! Just finished scrolling through. The site really shows the true scale of our solar system, it's big!

Go read the book. It is pretty good. I could ship you my copy, but you should already have one, and if you do not, a nearby bookstore/ friend probably does.

Here is the full quote, Camcha.

I certainly have had fun on that site. I flew out from the sun at warp 1 for about a day, and tried to check back whenever I passed a planet (not particularly successful was I).

I know it by heart, I was hoping to steer some people towards those book by having them look for it themselves

I successfully did a decent estimate of where all the planets would be. Of course I was a bit off... But I'd say I was decently accurate.
