Not my day for computers- I finally got the Java to load and work on my desktop-(cool web site fractus)- but now my laptop is screwed. While installing Logitech mouse drivers for the new mouse, I lost all use of the mouse, even after rebooting. crap.

"The Powers of Ten" was made into a film, and it was the first film we were required to watch the very first day in Architecture School. It teaches concepts of scope, measurement, and space that anyone can understand. "The Powers of Ten" is brilliant in both concept and execution. I'd love to see it, but my comp doesn;t seem to be compatible...
anyway... it makes one feel so miniscule in a broader scope of things.

Even if we are tiny physically, we are huge because of our free will. In that sense we are larger than even the most gigantic star imaginable.

I think that seeing just how small we are next to the rest of the universe is helpful, useful and keeps us humble. Being humble is a good thing.

Thats outstanding. To think, to view our milky way as the spiral you'd have to travel at 186,000 miles per second for 1,000,000 years, its just mental

Or, one could just use a very, very big mirror.
(OK, OK, and a time machine to allow time for light to leave the galaxy, hit the humungous mirror, and then bounce back to us.)
