Quote:Have you ever read Stephen King's book "The Gunslinger"? If not, there is a discussion that takes place regarding "size" and how the finite brain cannot comprehend the infinite, even though it thinks it can. Whenever I start into the realm of space and the like, I always think back to that. It's a very interesting perspective.

Haven't read that. I'll have to check it out. There was a show on history ( I forgot the name of it) that tried to explain sizes and distances between things in space. For instance( and I'm making these numbers up to use to explain the show) they create a scale model of our solar system using a basketball as the sun and a marble for earth placed hundreds of feet away. But what really puts it in perspective is when they show the camera angle from the marble looking at the basketball and vis versa. I don't explain things well, but I hope that made sense. I'll keep an eye on the guide to see if I can find that show again and try to give you guys a heads up or at least give you the name of the show. It wasn't one of their normal shows, I don't think.
