Hey /sci/

I'm a Geography Teacher and i'm trying to give my students a real insight in how big the universe is and how small we are.

I have seen some good and really inspiring vids on here, about.. wel.. everything, However i forgot the name. It really makes you think.

I was hoping you guys could hook me up with some vids.

Thanks

it isnt a vid, but it is pretty cool.
use the scrollbar at the bottom to scroll all the way from plank lnegth to the length of the universe, with significant sizes of things in between.

Make sure first that they understand the concept of magnitude powers (exponential growth)

Is that a Bagger 288 in the pic OP? Nice.

Tell your students that the universe is even bigger than that thing.
