Found this cool link not too long ago. Imagine: the universe is just so big. Planets with life, and intelligent life like in Mass Effect or Star Wars, are out there. Galaxies and star systems with infinite possibilities. And what exactly is the universe "contained" in? Is it just a tiny particle within another universe in a never ending Inception-like cycle?? Sadly, I don't think any of us will know within our lifetime.
The size of the universe .. That's so absurdly difficult to comprehend. I see the Earth as huge when it is really a speck of the solar system, a speck of the Milky way, a speck of the universe. It's just hard to think about. The distance of a lightyear is incredibally long 6 trillion miles, and yet extremely short! (there are billions of light years of distance in all directions).
