Very cool interactive Scale Charts. Atoms are Small. Universe is BIG!
First from the size of 12 point Times regular font down to the Carbon atom:

Holy crap that is awesome!
Puts you in your place when you really think about it. Where do we fit in on this massive scale? And do you really think that Earth, out of all that is out there, is the only place for life to exist? The only "intelligent" beings to exist? I'd say we are absolute morons compared to what is out there...but hey at least we're still growing and expanding our knowledge.
Good find. :9

I just spend a half hour reading through the Nikon one. So cool. Thanks for the links.
