If You Want to be Humbled...

The following video will not only introduce you to an interesting astronomical experiment, it will humble you in its implications...



Copernicus brought the rage of religion because he proposed a model of the universe that moved man from the center and replaced Earth is Sun. In the early 20th century, most astronomers thought that "all there is" was just the Milky Way galaxy, but then some fuzzy patches were discovered to be "near by" constellations. Whole other galaxies lurking in space. This video gives you a sense of how immense space is.

This video humbles those who want to put humans on a pedestal and say that we are the "meaning" of the universe, that it was created for our sake! What foolishness. We are smaller than small.
