    Pinching zooms in instead of out and that is annoying.

    Otherwise it is a neat website.

      You scroll with one finger. Pinching does whatever the first finger that touches the screen does.

    Oh, to bathe in the light that will never reach me from the stars that I will never see.

      I need a similar infographic telling a Minecraft character that it’s only a few blocks out of 28,800,000,000,000,000,000.

      We need to stop thinking that the local scale is an absolute scale.

      Just because you were born in a universe where it appears you are an insignificant speck of dust does not mean that you are insignificant.

      It only means that you may need to look a bit deeper than what’s in front of you to see what’s significant.

      Also, focusing too much on where you are in relative space typically loses sight of where you are at in time.

      Look more closely at the present moment and where it is leading, and hopefully you’ll realize that apparent local beginnings are not nearly as relevant for what’s going on as where things end up.

      We should be revisiting our physical assumptions constantly. It was one thing for Einstein to ridicule the idea of a world where the moon disappears if no one is looking at it. But since then there have been dozens of worlds that we’ve built ourselves where exactly that happens.

      We stand on quite the precipice in the history of billions of years of intelligent life in the local universe.

      Maybe we deserve a bit more credit than we tend to give ourselves.

      You have to wait it takes time.
