Scale of The Universe
I found this rather intriguing site that shows everything to scale all the way down to a quantum foam and string!
Song To Listen Too While Viewing: The xx - Intro [10 Hours] - YouTube Scale of the Universe v1: http://htwins.net/scale/ Scale of the Universe v2: http://htwins.net/scale2/?bordercolor=white Scale of the Universe v3: http://scaleofuniverse.com/ I was more interested in the smaller things since... before this scale, I did not know what was smaller than a nanometer, and needed a visual template to comprehend it, I didnt know that an atom is pretty friggen enourmous compared to molecules, electrons neutrons, protons and nucleus, quite frankly... this is physics 101 in a nutshell Edit: also the "lengths before this point are not confirmed" made me laugh Edit 2: o.O and i would also like to point out that i had no idea that scientists already had a theory on how big the universe actually is, i always thought that we didn't because we've always had the term "observable universe", turns out there's much more we dont know but is hidden in plain sight. ^.^ Edit 3: the creator needs to update the list a bit though, transistor gates are down to 22nm now ^^ look how close it is to the size of DNA!

The creator (Cary Huang) is on the right. I'm trying to find a place to thank him cause I think that is an amazing tool.

What's the deal with the size of Minecraft? It's that big?
EDIT: Never mind, I didn't realize that each picture was annotated, if you click it gives an example. Really is a neat site.

That's pretty cool.
Although some things are not exactly to scale.
