The scale goes down a long way. Seems too far to me.

1:1 with imagination involved. Nobody really knows most of those sizes, or if those things really exist. That's why I said I think the sizes go down too small. I think there's a Black Hole in the middle of an Atom, so that alters the picture quite a lot... I think.

Meh.

The wow factor is solely a product of our anthropomorphism. A mirage generated by our entrenched habit of comparing everything to ourselves.

Religion may be dying, but our anthropomorphism continues to live on unabated.

I thought the wow factor was how much stuff you can fit in an atom... and it's wow.. surely wrong, surely OTT, and surely we would weigh a ton. But anyway.. we are the origin to compare with. You would make life harder to compare thing with an unfamiliar origin.

It's interesting, but not Wow, because it is what it is (a = a) , it could not be any other way.

It's not a = a because it's wrong. It's more like a = z.
