- Carl Sagan told us that there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on all of the Earth's beaches. At the same time, there are more H2O molecules in just 10 drops of water than there are stars.
Ranging from the unimaginably small to the unimaginably big, the scale of the universe is mind-boggling. Watch to try to wrap your head around it.

nah
Just remember how it says the observable universe. We barely even know a thing about our own planet...
i feel.. small
+Siddarth Jawahar we are small in size but we have the ability to learn about the universe,we should feel big
+Red Salmon well said
+Siddarth Jawahar since you are made of the universe.. or rather you *are* the universe in unfolding process. you should feel neither small nor big
+Siddarth Jawahar On a universal scale we are much less than small, we are really insignificant at all.
+Red Salmon yes indeed very well said
Are you telling me, my LED TV is not that huge as I thought?
yep it's not SEVERAL MILLION LIGHTYEARS LONG.
Obviously it's not
mr. questionmark that's what she said
several billion light years smaller

ah u mean with the metres
+Jacky well, you also have to think that, the brain is completely unable to come to realize that scope of distance.
Well yea but that's what happens when you get to the really big things. We stop being able to guage it as we lose reference points in the vastness.

There are 2 possible things that could be happening to us. 1. We are alone in this outrageously huge universe. 2. We are not alone. Both are equally scary...

The Atoms that comprise life on earth, the Atoms that make up the human body are traceable to the crucibles cooked light elements into heavy elements. These stars; the high mass ones among them, grew unstable in their later years. They collapsed and then exploded, scattering their enriched guts across the galaxy, guts made of Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and all the fundamental ingredients of life itself. These elements become part of gas clouds that condense into the next generation of solar systems; stars with orbiting planets, and those planets now have the ingredients for life itself. And many people feel small because the universe is so big, but I feel big...because my Atoms, came from those stars.

This to me really is proof that there is other intelligent life out there, however the likelihood of us ever co-existing in the same space at the same time is probably 0
+nVr true unfortunate but true, i would very much enjoy meeting another intelligent species.... or even a space cow :o
+Reagan Kimberley bruh we can have some space steak.
Inigzz yum! unless its a sulfur based lifeform.... fuck.
+nVr Less than 0? How does that even work? There is a negative chance that it will happen?
tccb1833 its a saying, taking it seriously would be pointless, just because of the sheer scale of the universe 0 in itself is not small enough to describe the odds.
if aliens attack us i will just say you messin with the wrong galatic neighborhood
shut the fuck up.
+Bob Bob you do know they can just use a super weapon on the Earth and leave without getting near it?
you do know that we have no idea if they have ''super weapons''? who the fuck knows they could still be evolving We could have weapns x99999999999999999999999999999999999999 better then theirs who the fuck knows?
lol then they will look at us and be like "bitch... we are the galactic neighborhood..." xD and then Dab on us... xb
If aliens have the technology to get to us they will have vastly more power at their disposal than we could muster. It would be like a couple of guys in a canoe, with bows and arrows, taking on an aircraft carrier and attendant flotilla, if that!
beginning of the scale: my self esteem
*sits in corner then cries about existence*
why cry?
Well, as small as we all are, we have to make our VERY short time on this very small corner of this very large universe worth it. We have been gifted with life. The odds of even being conceived is ridiculous if you think about all that could go wrong at the molecular or genetic level. Then think about the potential physiological issues that could've popped up as a brand new human being is being incubated within another human being. Whoever or whatever your higher power/s is/are, you have to thank him/her/them/it for allowing you to exist. MAKE IT WORTH IT.

Even though I saw a lot of "universe's scales" videos I am still being fascinated about how how ridiculously big it is. Still blow my mind trying, just trying to comprehend the size.
you thought it was 2 centimeters?
It's so fascinating that no matter what we discover, we will always be extremely small compared to the universe.

Inigzz Well, I personally don't care.
There should be a piece land somewhere, where countries that have disputes can go, fight each other in a war and get it sorted out, away from all the peaceful innocent people, why drag them into this BS?
Yet people who believe in deities think we're the centre of the Universe and Gods chosen one. All these primitive and ancient fights over whose religion is the best has done nothing but hinder the human race. It's a shame we can't collectively all work together to create a better society, more efficient functioning fair and rational. If we all worked together we could create a perfect society, it's a shame not everyone can get on the same wave length that killing is wrong and crime is wrong. Even if people could just put aside their differences in beliefs and just help each other daily even, instead of bombing and shooting back at each other..
+Hamish Kay We have a long way to go, because 90% of people are still sick, they have a mental disorder called religion..
+Hamish Kay Real life and video games are not the same sadly. If we can united in the past, we probably reach out to the star right now (Legacy of the Void's preference) XD
+Hamish Kay Religion is simply a way for people to explain things they could not understand. Notice as science has taught us more, religion began to fade away in many countries.
+Hamish Kay "Yet people who believe in deities think we're the centre of the Universe and Gods chosen one."
Where did you pull that information from?
+Hamish Kay That awkward moment when you figure out that chances are 'god' could have just been our ancestors exploring, finding this planet, and settling on it, and then the story about how we got here getting majorly screwed up. It's fun to think about, I mean, eventually we'll eventually figure out how to terraform planets and settle them, and they may be so far away that we can only check in on them every few thousand years... brings that whole 'second coming' into perspective.
This is so cool! I love how you can see the size of the object being shown compared to the previous object. It's really cool and interesting! Good job.
Finally, a measurement video *THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND*
So if the universe is this big , humans alone can't populate the entire universe , so there must be many many alien races around the universe , some may have made contact with other races , have peace or occupation or a galactic government .many are like us , asking is there aliens out there .
Yep, we are actually aliens! Isnt this fascinating?
we exist, so why not other life-forms don't as well :/
Its interesting question. With so much out there it makes sense to assume life must exist, but theres actually science on this question. Basically theres a bunch of parameters or criteria a planet must have in order to maintain and sustain life, such as having a perfect sun or being the perfect distance from the sun. And along side the criteria is an equation which works out the probability of life existing on a planet, and by the end of 2015 the probability was 4000 over 1 Octillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000). So basically the chances of a planet being able to sustain life is tiny, but still 4000 is a number. So mathematically, theres about 4000 planets in the universe which can sustain life. However, since the discovery of the first 2 parameters in 1966, every year new ones have been discovered, and the probability decreased accordingly. Today theres more than 250 parameters. The equation also only works out the probability of a planet being able to sustain life, weather its very complex life, or intelligent life is purely luck. Humans have only existed on earth for about 10 thousand years which in the scheme of things is tiny. The chances of intelligent species existing independently to us (evolved completely separately) at the same time is so small. To question weather life exist on other planets isn't the right question, because we know it does. Life simply will exist on another planet. The really interesting question is, does life exist on another planet currently. Life could have existed billions of years ago when Eukaryotic cells were only beginning to evolve on earth, and have since all died now. I mean... life on earth will come to an end as well. the universe is cruel like that...
Brendan Saffer Humans (Homo sapiens) have existed during the last 200,000 years. And eukaryotic cells still exist. Actually, you consist of eukaryotic cells! Maybe you're talking about prokaryotic cells (no nucleus) but they still exist too. Example: bacteria are prokaryotic, they don't have any nucleus. I don't think that anthropoids will stop existing, unless a huge meteoroid hits the Earth. But homo sapiens sapiens may not exist in the far future, because it may have been separated to other subspecies. Keep in mind that there were two homo sapiens subspecies: sapiens and idaltu. Idaltu is now extinct though. Who knows, maybe there will be another subspecies, our new cousins...
Brendan Saffer either you copied and pasted or you just dont have anything else to do
There are bigger things than universe
Scale past universe:
1 vigitillion planck lengths
Gramhams number length
Multiverse
Metaverse
Xenoverse
Omniverse
Observable Outer Space/Infinity
So things get pretty darn big
That's an estimation from Carykh's video. As of now we may think the Universe is infinite.
Already a mistake at 0:11. If that atom were correctly scaled, the proton would have been much much smaller than a single pixel, that there would be no point in leaving it visible, yet you represented it with a circle of a diameter of several pixels. The average distance of the electron to the nuclear core is many many many times greater than you represented it.
Voyager has been floating in one direction for over 40 years. We don’t know where it’s going, we don’t know what it’s going to find, but it just keeps going. Nothing has even set it off course.
The distance between earth and moon always blows my mind.... i just always think its so much closer than it is. And dna seemed big in this somehow! Learned something new woo

Really enjoyed that, thanks man
we can't be alone right? maybe there is an civilization planet out who have the same tech as us.
+John Doe This is likely, but if it is the case we will most likely never know or hear from them.
Same tech? Likely different and on another level, unless it is true that aliens have been giving selected governments samples of their tech.
People also say that the human race is not intelligent enough for extraterrestrial lifeforms to openly communicate with us and show themselves to the entire world. Just like Starfleet orbiting from above only observing a species in development.
+John Doe its not likely we are the only life form in existence, it is likely tho that in time there have been so many civilizations that they have been extinct even before they could flourish to the level we are at. if you look at what we do to our resources here on earth its not surprising we go extinct too, pretty soon in comparison to the time the universe exists. its not only the scale of the universe which is this significant but also the amount of time it exists. and that's only in the form of time that we measure, if that's even the right way to measure progress.
+Enfirnity If we take the "big bang" as a point of view, time as we know it did not even exist. I take it as a fact that there are other intelligent life out there. It would be plain stupid to assume otherwise.
or not
If you want to realise how this universe is amazing, just download Space Engine, okay? Give it a try, worth it, believe me.
In Space Engine you can't see the Observable Universe

If you assume the measurements in the bottom left are correct (and at least one of them isn't), then the majority of the numbers being displayed in that ticker thing at the top are totally wrong. Also, it should say picometers when it says pectometers.
This was so wonderful! I really enjoyed it.
The best size comparison video ever!
Try to keep your eye on the proton...
It 'disappeared' 4 seconds after it appeared
I can't. It's too small.
Just imagine if our observable univers was one of many, and if we expanded the pense even further, we could eventually see more universes, different from ours, making up protons, neutrons, and electrons to form atoms, building up everything in a new universe, creating an infinite number of universes, either bigger or smaller than us.
Me and my friend thought this too. What if every our universe is a quark in an even bigger universe. And that universe is a quark in an even bigger universe and that goes one forever.
I really love your channel.

Perfect!
Messed up on the ant. Should have been 4 millimeters not 0.4 millimeters.
+Matthew James 0.004 meters equals 4 millimeters
+Xeira That is true, but in the lower right corner when they show the ant it says 0.4 millimetres which is incorrect.
+Matthew James oh you're right, didn't notice
+Xeira Also at the end they say the Observable Universe is 93 billion light-years across which is also incorrect. It's the Known Universe or sometimes called the Entire Universe which is 93 billion light years across. The Observable Universe is only 27.4 billion light light-years across, which is double the 13.7 billion light-year radius of the furthest observables from Earth.
+Matthew James Unfortunately, i'm gonna have to correct you on that one. The diameter of the observable universe is physically, at this present time, about 91 billion light years. The reason you can't just take the age of the universe and double it for a measure of it's diameter is because space is and has been expanding and is also expanding at an accelerated rate. The "Known universe" is precisely that size by definition. Also, the "Entire universe" is an unknowable size since we cannot see beyond the cosmological horizon, which is roughly 46.9 Billion light years away. If you want some technical details, The distance to the edge of the observable universe is calculated by multiplying the speed of light by the conformal time that has passed since the big bang. Conformal time is how long it would take a photon to travel from our current location to the furthest observable distance we know of.
It's not the ABSOLUTE scale of the universe. There are MUCH smaller things than protons like quarks.

great video m8
Best scale of the universe vid I've ever seen!
go look at some better ones, this one's fucking awful
And yet we're still one another..
Is it weird that for most people the planets and the space between them is greater than they imagined, but for me it is quite a bit smaller.
How do humans get all this information? It's just... glorious
Nice animation, several misstakes tho.
The text says the ant is 0.4 millimeters and the counter says 4 millimeter.
The text says the basketball is 24 centimeters and the counter says 5.5 centimeters.
The text says the pyramid is 140 meters and the counter says 150 meters.
The text says the distance between earth and the moon is 385,000 kilometers meters and the counter says 380,000 kilometers.
Then after 1 lightyear I assume you just rounded 1 lightyear to 10,000,000,000,000 kilometers, which makes the text say the distance to Proxima Centauri is 4.2 lightyears, but the counter says it's 42 lightyears. And then it's back to being correct about Omega Centauri at 150 lightyears.
+Tomas Jakobsson you must be fun at parties
+enterBeastmode1 no probably not actually
U said all of those corrections but can't spell mistake
Plus, the size of the Universe is actually 8.78 x 10^26 m (affected by the rounding)
I rewatched this with the corrections in mind. They need to do a fan corrections video.
Cary and Michael huang! YAY
Wouldn't it be wierd to see the Canis Majoris sunrise each morning?
well we'd die.
and all planets to NEPTUNE would explode or just burn
I think the universe is just a quark on scale to beyond the universe
The size of the universe is absolutely, well it can't be expressed, the best I can do it is, huge bigger then huge. If we look one way 13 billion light years. There is a galaxy that looks at us right now and sees a galaxy just forming. Past that is another galaxy 13 billion light years, and so on and so on all the way around the big bang. How big is the big bang, I don't know. That's my guess, or my theory.
Good job, that made literally no sense.
I'm saying that galaxy 13 billion Light years away is seeing somewhat the same thing we are.
He's saying that from the edge of the universe to the source of the Big Bang, the Universe is 13 billion years old. So I'm going to assume.
I am saying, our visible universe is 26 billion light years across, 13 billion on either side of us. Now the cosmic infrared background shows that as being 85 billion. I don't know how far away the big bang was but all we see, is located in that little cloud of vapor in the video I showed, at the 15 second mark. The universe is a lot bigger then we think. Again when ;we think we are the centre of the universe, we are wrong.
Ken Kubesh Well that's a comforting thought, because if the universe *IS* bigger than we thought, it might mean there will be a much longer life spawn to the universe than we thought too.
We are someone else's TV noise..
