Reply to comment by Adeldor in give me some of your favorite space facts by ChocolatePizza2121

While not bothered by downvotes (hover over my username to see my comment karma), I am puzzled why anyone would downvote the comment above. What could possibly be displeasing or wrong about it? Maybe they're just having a bad day. :-)

The assumption that it’s beyond comprehension to everyone.

Within the definition of "comprehension" as "the capacity for understanding fully," I do indeed assert that distances in space fall beyond anyone's full grasp. At an intellectual level, certainly one can discuss such measurements and manipulate devices accordingly, but they fall beyond human intuition and evolutionary experience.

I agree with you. Some people think they can comprehend the universe I guess… 🤷🏼

You asked, I answered you. And then you did it again.
It's an assumption that no one's comprehension exceeds your own.

I did what again? Disagree with you? I gave some rationale. You gave just an assertion without explanation. My point stands. I'll leave it there.
