I got one interesting link to compare the size of a man and the Universe and acknowledged real picture about our place in the universe from macro to micro world. Just scroll your mouse. Enjoy.

just the imagination is impressive...

Reminds me of the movie and book called "Powers of ten". Those made a huge impression on me some 25-30 years ago.

It's good to know we're pretty much in the center of the whole thing ... :-)

Sure, everybody knows that Copernicus was wrong ;-)

How can it be that the infinite space is limited? ;-)

Do we really know the universe is infinite, as we are only able to observe a limited part of it...

Amazing  that Human beings are almost in the middle of the scale and Nature seems to be so dimensionally symmetric !

Thanks for sharing Dragan - great! 

indeed it seems to be the acuallly most probably answer to some questions of astro- and quantum physics, that infinite space is not infinite. In former times mankind was sure, that the ocean they see too is infinite :-).
I read books about that the last months and am far to stupid to explain double split trial and Schroedingers cat sufficiently, but at the end of all that curvature of space and light speed is not most fastest speed is the recognitial, that our universe might be limited and is only one bubble between how much ever in a "bigger" universe and that again in a "larger" universe...

Help?

Do You have the flash player plugin installed Phyllis? it is needed to see the link...

That's what I believed to know from childhood on ... and what can be viewed in the very last sequence of the movie "Men in black" :-)

Unbelievable. I cannot tell you how many flash players I have downloaded over the last six months....I lost count. But NO there is not even ONE in the Applications folder...good thing  I asked. I will go to download now..

Back again..

;-) You're on Mac, not? A Mac is automatically checking for updates on a weekly basis and will then ask you if you want to install these. So, no real need for manual installs.

And... I am impressed by Dragan's clairvoyant abilities, as he has started this topic fittingly in the "support forum" ;-)

Like Scarlet O'Hara..I just want to deal with this tomorrow...which means never. :)

When you zoom out, the last things you see before leaving the features of the earth are USA and Asia. Significance?

But should I upgrade to the D800?

One of the many ways the participants at 1X.com broaden my perspectives and add enjoyment to my day.  Thanks, Dragan.

That's great D.

Acceptable or not, those in the know know that 42 *is* the answer.

King Douglas wrote
Douglas Adams said when he was asked what the 42 means: 'The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do'. I typed it out. End of story.'

How like him.

I assumed that, as I got older, I would understand the world and the meaning of life better. I was wrong.

No I did not, but some experiences, that appeared as hints. May be they appear that way only retrospective, but I strongly believe that we by far do not understand anything "really" happening at all. I am convinced, that all what we see is produced by our consciousness. It coins the things to come and is connected to the "whatever" that surrounds and connects us all. Call it god, call it energy, call it information, call it matrix. If there is no absolute time, and no absolute room, all things happen probably at the same time? And if even matter exists of waves only, it's neither "hard" nor "there. So if our consciousness is connected to that "whatever" why shouldn't it be possible, that we connect from time to time on a more aware level? If evolution is right? Why do we have a brain, that only is used to 10%? If all only exists as nature makes it necessary, this other 90% must be of use! Why do all animals sleep? Such a disadvantage.... It must be important. What is consciousness? Where is it. Where comes it from. I do not doubt at all Bob, that you have been warned.

Wait, don't tell me!  You met Glenn Capers in person!An unproven hypothesisSpoken like a true 1X.com curator.

I confess, in my case its 6 % :-)

I haven't been that fortunate yet, although we talk for a few hours each week on skype.

Yes.  Why do you ask?

It shuts down the pineal gland as do some anti-depressants such as prozac - allegedly.

I just had my six-month checkup on my pineal gland and hypothalamus...both are in terrific shape.  Doc says I have the pineal of a 30-year old and the hypothalamus of a teenager.  

Wandering again I see...30-year old, ha!!! Maybe a 30-year old shrimp!

Another link that is interesting (if it is here I missed it) What we don't see!

Thinking in and about over-dimensional or sub-dimensional worlds drives you either to the edge of madness or it relaxes you down as we realize we are an absurd Nothing. Sometimes the best solution to survive some dark nights. I don't care anymore (I did care before) if the universe is infinite or not or what is its physical nature but there is one thing, which is infinite for sure. And it is this question: WHY?

Mmmmm! Lovely with some fava beans and a nice chiante.

And remember, there are no pain neurons in the brain.

From the subatomic to dark energy, excellent visual of a 13.7 billion year old universe. And some still have their doubts.

For those of you who have i-pods or just watch podcasts..

Well, Asia is the largest continent, objectively, and the USA point of view of the Earth is the most important one, subjectively ;-).

More seriously: European maps of the Earth are Europe centric and American maps are often Americas centric :-) . Meaning this site most likely was done in US.
