When you consider that the Andromeda galaxy contains more than a trillion stars, the scale of the universe quickly becomes incomprehensible. 🤯

I need a fast spaceship. Wish I could find an alien vessel with drunk/high aliens 👽 in it and fly around.

🤯 can anyone even comprehend how big a trillion is?!

I certainly can't. Just try to picture that... what does that look like?!

Just to add on to how mind blowing everything is. "A cube of water, one inch on a side, contains about 600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ("6" followed by 23 zeros, or six-hundred sextillion) molecules! There are 120 times more water molecules in the cubic inch of water than there are stars in the observable universe!!!"

It's just a theory

But when you know all of those trillion stars are held by a single black hole , it becomes very comprehensible .. it doesn't matter what flies around - dust or stars - what matters is the tiny thing that holds them all together .. #btc
