Size of my thing?

Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

There's always a shortcut.
You can get the Sun in Tesco's, so I'm told. And the Star, if it comes to that.
They used to sell the Universe too. But only on Sundays.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Re: The size of things
I'll go the other way with the Planck length:-
Wikipedia
No, I don't understand that last bit either...
Wikipedia
That's pretty fookin small.The size of the Planck length can be visualized as follows: if a particle or dot about 0.005 mm in size (which is the same size as a small grain of silt) were magnified in size to be as large as the observable universe, then inside that universe-sized "dot", the Planck length would be roughly the size of an actual 0.005 mm dot. In other words, a 0.005 mm dot is halfway between the Planck length and the size of the observable universe on a logarithmic scale.[12] All said, the attempt to visualize to an arbitrary scale of a 0.005 mm dot is only for a hinge point. With no fixed frame of reference for time or space, where the spatial units shrink toward infinitesimally small spatial sections and time stretches toward infinity, scale breaks down. Inverted, where space is stretched and time is shrunk, the scale adjusts the other way according to the ratio V-squared/C-squared (Lorentz transformation).

I saw Neil deGrasse Tyson recently. And he gives a good talk about how to feel small, cosmically speaking. But he shouldn't speak about topics unrelated to his field of study, to put it politely.

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Thanks for trolling lol
He was very entertaining and interesting, but every once in a while he'd make this comment way outside his field.
