1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the purpose of this video is to just begin

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to appreciate how vast and enourmous the universe is;

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and frankly, our brains really can't grasp it

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but we'll see in this video is that we can't even grasp things

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that are super-small compared to the size of the universe

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and we actually don't even know what the entire size

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of the universe is.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But with that said,

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
let's actually just try to appreciate how small we are.

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So this is me right over here.

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I am 5' 9", depending on whether I'm wearing shoes.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(maybe five foot ten with shoes)

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But for the sake of this video let's just roughly approximate

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
around six feet or around roughly,

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm not going to go into the details

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of the math, around 2 meters. Now If I were to lie down

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ten times in a row, you've get about the length of a

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
18 wheeler, it's about 60 feet long. So this is

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
times ten. Now if you were to put an 18 wheeler;

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
kind of if you were to

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
make it tall as opposed to long, somehow to stand it up

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and you were to do that 10 times in a row, you'll get to the height of

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
roughly a 60 story skyscrapper. So once again,

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
if you took me and you piled me up a hundred times,

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you'll get about a 60 story skyscrapper. Now if you took that skyscrapper

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and you were to lie it down ten times in a row
