Actually a "tiny dust" is a pretty exaggerated depiction to what Earth is compared to the Universe... The total mass of the solar system is about 333,345.997 Earth masses... The Milky Way is thought to have some 300 billion stars... Our local galaxy cluster comprising of at least 47 galaxies including our own... Our own Supercluster (Virgo) contains about 100 galaxy clusters (clusters like our own Local Group) and about 2,000 individual galaxies... The Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex is the next line in our address and its comprised of about 60 superclusters of galaxies making up of tens of thousands of galaxies... The observable universe It is home to about 10-billion superclusters. Estimated to have about 350-billion large galaxies (like the Milky way) housing about 30-billion-trillion stars; That is 30,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars! So if the Earth is only about 12.742 km in diameter and the Observable Universe is 93 billion light-years in diameter (and increasing) then if we round up the numbers to have 12.742 km to be 13.000 km and 93 billion light years to be 100 b light years, then we can calculate how many Earths it will take to fill the Observable Universe... The number should be 100 bly / 13.000 km A light year is 9.4605284 × 10^12 kms rounded up its 10*10^12 kms... So 1 light year is equal to about 10.000.000.000.000 km that's 10 Trilion kms, or 10^13 kms... So 100 billion light years are 10^2 * 10^9 * 10^13 kms that's 10^24 kms! Or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kms or 1 septillion kms! So if we make 1 septillion kms / 13,000 km we get that the Earth is 10^24 / 13*10^3 = 0.07*10^21 times smaller than the Universe! Or 76 quintillion (or 76,923,076,923,076,923,070) times smaller! Now lets look at a typical spec of sand... Which is about 0.05 to 2.0 mm. 1 mm is 10^-6 kilometers. And Compared to the Earth that's as follows... The Earth is like we said about 13.000 km and a spec of dust about 10^-6 km so we have a ratio of 13*10^3 / 10^-6 which is 13000 / 0.000001 13,000,000,000 times smaller. So the Earth is 76 quintillion times smaller than the Universe and a spec of dust is 13 billion times smaller than the Earth. So if we do 76 quintillion / 13 billion we get: around 5,917,159,763! That's a diffrence to the size of 5 billion! So in conclusion the Earth compared to the Universe is 5 billion times smaller than the smallest spec of dust on Earth (compared to the Earth)! So take a look at the Earth, then imagine it being the smallest spec of sand you can think of. Then decrease that number by 5 billion times and you have a good picture of how tiny the Earth is!

Fun fact about Vienna, where the camera begins zooming out: Stalin, Hitler, Trotsky and Freud all lived there the same time. Imagine that random encounter in some coffee shop table.

[@hubbletrubble7875]

Hitler is a hobo out on the streets of Vienna when he sees two people coming into the coffee shop next to where he was taking shelter. He didn't know it at the time, but eventually, those two would become his greatest enemies, other than the jews of course. He had already grown some hatred for Semites, mainly fueled by the anti-semitism of the city he 'lived' in. These two people were Trotsky and Yugashveli (Later changing his name to Stalin, Russian for steel) They, had also grown some of their later political views by now, both thinking that the proletariat should rise up, but, just like Hitler, would not know of the hatred, and later a murder that would occur between them.

[@nowondr]

I think honestly the most important first step is to figure out how our brains work. To which we still know very little because the brain on a microscopic level is almost as crazy as the universe. But if we can figure out a way to tap into our thoughts and memories and upload consciousness into mind drives of sorts, then that is the first step to exploring the universe in my eyes. Our bodies are not meant to traverse space, but we could build ones eventually that are, and then it's just a matter of transferring consciousness to them. Give it a few hundred more years and I think all that may start to become a reality. Unfortunate for us in this time though. Smart enough to know these things are theoretically possible, but a little too early to get to reap the rewards, if you will. One could argue that humans are not ready for such a thing anyways though, most still cant get along with their neighbor and devalue people based off skin color. We have a ways to go yet. Still pretty cool to imagine though.

[@PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

Noah Au yes still cool to. But eventually we’re going to have to work together. Human consciousness is one thing that also bugs me as well. Like where is the conscience, why do I even have one. Where did it come from. And it sucks as we’re all alone in our heads and even though we may think and see the same thing. We probably don’t. I just wish we can get out of our heads but that sounds way to complicated but yes, hopefully we can tap into human consciousness. But I also do think we have to explore space, yes we may not be ready but we don’t have a choice. Stephen Hawking even said we only have limited time on earth because we may go extinct from our stupidity like nuclear war or climate change. And than what we get but my an asteroid or something. So I feel we have to leave spaceship earth and head for the stars. I feel like investing into education will definitely help us at least progress. Even though humans may sound bad by watching the news, humans are actually really talented and we can do things with ease. It’s just commitment. If we put our brains together and work hard, we can progress into space travel and hopefully explore as much of the universe as we can before time “runs out”. Maybe that’s the meaning of life potentially, figuring out who we are, in this expansive universe.

[@humanbeing1429]

I'm confident about finding new life forms elsewhere in this vast universe or the multiverse. The big question is what happens after. Our whole lives of indoctrination, religious beliefs and faith will all break apart and there will be chaos. Humans will go wild trying to bring each other down because the fanatics of faith will not go down easy as that would mean denying everything they ever believed in. But the truth is always preferable than being kept in the dark so humans will surely learn to evolve and adapt to changes and there will be an awakening unlike any that has taken place before. Humans are conscious souls living in shells or vessels called a body. The brain carries out all commands but the consciousness in us commands the brain. So when we learn more about our consciousness, we will learn more about the universe itself. This is just my thoughts and you can correct me if I'm wrong here. Thanks for reading.

[@sarenareth689]

It's actually expanding, as in more space is added and has been added since the Big Bang. Space is a funny thing. Did you know for instance that an object launched at earth isn't pulled at by earth's gravity like an invisible force, but it's the curving of space itself by gravity that makes the object go towards earth. It's like I can walk straight for hours, but space around me is bending such that I actually made several U-turns without me noticing and without my direction vector changing; it was always pointed forward the entire time. Space (nothingness) can be added and I guess removed. If I add 2 times a cube of 1 by 1 by 1 meter of space between us, then I need to walk 2 extra meters to reach you now. Something like that is happening with the universe.

According to the Drake equation, the number of planets that could develop similar in life to ours is very very small. So there may be life on the far side of the universe. But it’s far enough away that we will never see it.

[@LucaGM_]

The drake equation predicts anywhere from 1000 to 100,000,000 civilisations in our galaxy alone and the furthest we have sent signals out covers a small fraction of our galaxy. Also there are galaxies significantly bigger, or with possibly more chances for civilisations and the milky way itself is a minuscule drop of water in an ocean of galaxies in the observable universe with the full universe predicted to be atleast 250 times bigger than the observable one. I know space is massive and difficult to grasp but even the smallest percentages are bigger numbers than you can imagine.

@@cherrydragon3120 Its not just a couple hundred my friend.. According to the theory of cosmic inflation that was proposed by Dr Alan Guth, if we were to assume that cosmic inflation began at 10^-37th of a second after the big bang, and with the assumption that the size of universe before inflation began was equal to it's age times speed of light, then this would seem to suggest that at the present day, the entire universe is 150,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (sextillion) times larger than the observable universe. Let this number sink in for just a moment This would be similar to you thinking that the entire observable universe, everything that you could see, was the size of a lightbulb, but then realizing in reality the entire universe is larger than the former planet of Pluto. Imagine a lightbulb in the center of Pluto, but we inside the lightbulb were totally unaware Pluto existed outside of it, and thats a similar situation to this.

[@thesunexpress]

Yes, but none will ever meet another. Consider for a moment if it turns out that on average, every galaxy in the Universe contains just one planet with an intelligent---even highly advanced---species of inhabitant. That still means we've got the issue of communicating over a distance of 2.5 million light years to our nearest neighbors. That makes for a 5 million year round-trip to reply a simple "What's up?". Neither sender, receiver & indeed the entire species will be around for the experience. The more depressing bit is the utterly pointless folly of trying to figure out how to travel at or near the speed of light. We need hundreds of thousands of times that speed just to make any practical use of it, whether that is just communications or actual physical motion of an object. There is no doubt that we may some day conclusively spot some alien folly around a planet at some great distance; I suppose the only useful result of such discovery would be that it will serve as a final nail in the coffin of creationist religious idiots.

It doesn’t confirm. It begs us to question the notion that the universe was made for us alone.

However, we could in the near future send probes to nearby stars hosting their own planets to put that signal quality to the test, 30 years after launch from those star systems. The nearest is a little over 4 lys away. Just use a solar sail to accelerate a small probe at it to by as much as 5% the speed of light.
