Ecologies of Noticing Week 5 – insignificance

http://htwins.net/scale2

This web tool shows the scale of the universe through size relations. It was an interesting way to picture the place we have in the greater (and smaller) picture of the universe. Interestingly, humans are closer to the size of the entire universe than to the planck length.
A new perspective.
It was interesting to see how objects that seem very disconnected from each other shared similar sizes. Uluru being close to the size of an AM radio length, blue whale being the same size as an average U.S house etc.


Universe / Human ratio = 5.16×1026

Human / Planck length ratio = 1.1×1035
