C...FT, Actually the size isn't even definable. Carl Sagan's view that I agree with is that size extends to infinity in both directions. Solar systems as atoms, atoms as solar systems. Imagine the creatures living on a proton or a neutron, let alone an electron. The electron folks would probably be AC/DC.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-67312034218732801242017-07-03T08:15:07.001-04:002017-07-03T08:15:07.001-04:00A few days ago I said that we human beings are pro...A few days ago I said that we human beings are probably the moral eqivalent of PLANKTON floating in the vast expanse of the Cosmic Sea.<br /><br />Looking at this with the accompanying data I've changed my mind. <b>We are more like SUB-ATOMIC PARTICLES –– possibly even less. And yet, somehow we MATTER.</b><br /><br />If that doesn't encourage stronger belief in the existence of a Supreme Being, I can't imagine what would.FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-92002358357506699902017-07-02T19:58:07.436-04:002017-07-02T19:58:07.436-04:00Reply Corrected.Reply Corrected.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-20978485678227311232017-07-02T19:57:37.032-04:002017-07-02T19:57:37.032-04:00Mustang, it is why I love it so, and smile at thos...Mustang, it is why I love it so, and smile at those who insist on defining it. The last estimate is that there are 10 trillion galaxies, each having billions of stars and trillions or more planets.<br /><br />I love Carl Sagan's definition of infinity.
