I was just thinking of such a similar comparison today with a similar way of comparing them! (Earth<<Sun<<SagittariusA)
There's always a bigger, uh, sun.
Somewhere in late 2000s I saw one of the most mind-melting GIFs I've seen that compared the Solar System objects to the largest known stars at the time. This kinda reminded me of that.
ok so, this post reminds me, a while ago i archived all of the older Vsauce content, and i binged through the vast majority of it, and i can swear there was a video from him about the scale of the universe, or the scale of things in the universe, but i can't for the life of me find it.
Either it's hiding somewhere, or i'm making some shit up and it isn't real lol.
it's quite possibly somewhere in there. The blessing and the curse of Vsauce videos is that you never know what's going to be inside of it
yeah, that's kind of the problem i'm having lol, doesnt help that his video titles are often a little obtuse.
you got me to rewatch a couple of my favourites and there's a bit about the scale of the singal we send out to space in Messages For the Future. Maybe it was that?
could be, but i remember a video covering the scales of stars either as a focus, or as a reference, including a segment where the earths sun is quite literally too small to see. But i might be making that last part up.
Not Vsauce, but corridor crew did a video like that.
Or maybe its this from the D!NG channel hosted by Vsauce Jake
THE UNIVERSE
Good effort. I feel the dream, and it’s so much more. Life ain’t good, it’s a FUCKING lot, and there’s some good. Don’t search, just feel yo. FEEEEeeeEeEl.
I read it as "stepson" and thought it was a low res picture of pizza. I guess I am a bit sleep deprived.
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
