A sense of scale

Abstract

From sub-atomic to Universal, the range of scale tends towards infinity - in both directions. It could be argued that the small can be imagined as our minds can attempt to grapple with the concept of nothing and then it is only a case of imagining something getting infinitesimally closer to that limit. Yet with large scale we become stuck - viewing from or within a constricted radius of planet Earth it is difficult to put scale into per - spective. We quickly lose our ability to compare the large with the larger which soon appear to be both insignificantly small in comparison to the larger still. This article helps rebalance scale. What you once thought big, you’ll think big no longer. ABSTRACT
