The scale of reality

I thought the forum might enjoy this link that my cousin sent me.
It's about the relative scale of our physical reality.

Enjoy and ponder the relative magnitude

Wow. That is really cool!

Really gives a sense of perspective. Makes you wonder what will be discovered in the future that will be even larger or smaller ...

Indeed....the wonders of the universe go far beyond what only the unaided eye can see.

think of this the visual world is perceived by an individual according to what senses they have and how they work and everyone is different.
if you painted a picture of a building exactly how you see it with your eyes in daylight if you were to do it again with less light light dusk or dawn or night
the size and perspective of the building would change cause your physical eyes change with the lighting changes
