    Makes you feel so huge (when speaking in dimensions of powers of 10^-26 m) but can also make you feel so insignificant (when speaking in dimensions of powers of 10^26 metres)

    This zooming into the universe's galaxy's solar system's earth's country's lab's tree's leaf's cell's DNA strand's carbon atom's electron's quarks really makes me think about fractals and the Mandelbrot set...how detail can continue to bring about even more detail...

    Let us all pray that this never gets in the hands of rednecks...

    ...they could do much evil with it.

    I've often looked at the stars and wanted to do that in different directions, it would be awesome to see what else is out there.

    This made me think, what if our whole universe is a microscopic organism on the "leaf of a tree" in some greater world? Or something to that affect...

    It also reminds me of the end of the first Men In Black movie.

    Or what if a single quark is a universe in itself?

    What if there are millions of below-microscopic universes inside our own bodies?!
