How big are we?

[MASTERBAKER]

A beautiful animation showing, in perspective, the size of some planets and stars in relation to each other. Look how small we are out there, and this is just compared to the celestial objects we know about.

And to think that everybody wants to rule the Earth

whoa!

clearly i missed alot when we learned about the solar system in elementry school

what were those planets after the sun

i never heard of them before

i listen to talk radio while at work and someone called in and said, "its arrogant for people to think we are the only inteligent life in the entire universe"

after watching this i can see why he said that

It's most likely, there are.

But we will probably never meet, unless it is through some type of self replicating von Neumann probe.

Or we miss each other in time, and do not exist at the same time.

In any event, even though we are a Type 0, we should have been able to detect a Type II, or III by now. Most likely, extra terrestrial life, is either about or around our technological level.










The real question, are we really the only intelligent life on THIS planet!??
