So...Did anyone else notice the 'Minecraft World' in with the outer gas giant planets?
I did, so I had to find out what it was about.
Moose...I will not be recruited in to this one, either.

I thought the whole presentation was excellent (despite the World of Minecraft).

It is an on-line game for people with stupendous amounts of time on their hands. The world is pretty much made up of metre square blocks and inhabited with people who look very much like Lego men.  (I think if they'd branded it as Lego, people would have not noticed any different and they would have had to have paid a fortune to the people who make Lego)  |

My kids have been playing something like this on the iPad for a while now. Even the girls enjoy it.
Anyway, have seen this 'scale of the Universe' thing in various forms several times before. Always interesting.

It is also astounding how quickly we cam out of our "comfort zone" into what we can comprehend theoretically, but not the way we do the size ranges we deal with naturally.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to find out that each galaxy was but an atom in another universe outside our own... or even in a loop where the galaxy is inside itself?!

A theory has been suggested that there is anotheer world inside every black hole.

Very tenuous evidence based on observations of early galaxies and microwave background signals.

Well, yeah...
There are mathematical (topology, I believe) proofs of x dimensions/realities, too.
That's why there might really be a Discworld, where the planet is a huge disc, held on the shoulders of four gigantic elephants which, in turn, stand on the carapace of an even more gigantic turtle, A'Tuin.
