Humanitys infinitesimally tiny influence on the universe, or why we havent met any aliens yet

2013-10-31 21:06:59| Extremetech

I often find that the only way to truly fathom just how vast the universe is, or to successfully communicate the insane enormity of it to other people, is to illustrate just how small humanity is. After all, everything we ever do, say, or experience is measured against the yardstick of human endeavor. It's great to say that the universe is 14 billion years old, or that Voyager 1 is now flying towards one of the nearest habitable planets, but it's only when we put things in human terms do we truly appreciate the scale of the universe.
