Yeah, the scale of space is just so stupidly vast compared to what could ever be traveled in a human lifetime. When the light now reaching us from Andromeda left that galaxy, there were no human beings yet. And that's the closest galaxy of comparable size to the Milky Way. There are galaxies thousands of times farther away than that. Those distances might as well be infinite.

It's fantastic how smol we are.

And everything we see, is just 5% of all there IS. Fucking insane haha

Also size wise from the smollest to the biggest, planck length to well, the observable universe, A human egg cell is the exact middle point and the smallest we humans can still see basically
