I just find it so hilarious, space.
Like, at a certain scale, light (the thing we associate with instant) becomes like not so fast. But the distances are just soo incredibly vast lmao I love that we can still calculate it, but it means nothing A light-year, what does it mean for light to go round the fucking yuge Earth 8 times in one second?? 8 times Earth, or even one Earth is so huge it's almost incomprehensible so how many seconds in a year again???
Just be amazed by it, its weirdness and the absurd bigness of it haha

Yeah, the scale of space is just so stupidly vast compared to what could ever be traveled in a human lifetime. When the light now reaching us from Andromeda left that galaxy, there were no human beings yet. And that's the closest galaxy of comparable size to the Milky Way. There are galaxies thousands of times farther away than that. Those distances might as well be infinite.

It's fantastic how smol we are.
And everything we see, is just 5% of all there IS. Fucking insane haha
Also size wise from the smollest to the biggest, planck length to well, the observable universe, A human egg cell is the exact middle point and the smallest we humans can still see basically

For me what does it is neutron stars, which give us hilarious concepts like nuclear pasta. Like, how absurdly high was the universe when it decided to make these bad boys? "Hey if we keep gravitying I bet we can get just one big nucleus lmaooo'
