I feel very, very small right now. Just think, every war, protest, scandal and treaty happened on that tiny blue dot.

hey! thats my avatar! lol. on the grand scale of things....we are infinitely tiny...

[astropapi1]

damn, you beat me to it.

Amazing, huh?

[Buzzkil88]

so amazing.

its impossible to think that we are the only life in the universe. The furthest object Hubble has seen was estimated at 13 billion light years away... imagine going light speed for 13 billion years.... a light year is almost 6 trillion miles, so mulitply that by 13 billion and thats how far away it is.

we are simply a speck of dust in a very very big bucket of dirt...

[Rainbowtrout]

We're so insignificant...
