Science is not a set of information, science is the process that determines that information.

And that's what makes it great: When we find out we're wrong about something, we can adjust what we had previously assumed, and then continue forward.

 

To keep this on topic, here's another video about your place in the universe...

Here is another mindblowing video showing the size of our known universe.  What's crazy, too, is the size and shape of the particles that make up everything.  Then there are the particles that make up the particles that make up everything.

You can always rely on astronomy to make you feel this way.

Reminds me of the Total Perspective Vortex from the Hitchhiker's Guide books.

That video was amazing. Really puts into perspective of how insignificant we are.
