There is a .gif of this. That .gif is honestly what made me agnostic. I used to be atheist, but then I came to a realisation. The universe is built on scales we can't even imagine: just compare Canis Majoris to the Earth, and then think how it's all made of subatomic particles. My physics teacher told me that if an atom's nucleus was the size of a golf ball, the electrons would orbit an area the size of a cathedral hall. Matter is space on a tiny scale.

How the fuck can science ever hope to see the full extent of reality? We know only what level of reality our instruments can detect.

Our instruments are getting better and better. A few days ago scientists took the first ever photograph of an actual molecule 1/1,000,000th the diameter of a grain of sand.

It shows the the symmetric structure of atoms as had been theorized, but never observed until now..

I know. Once scientists thought atoms were the smallest particles. Then we found elementary particles. Now those particles have particles in them too. Why should it stop with quarks, leptons and bosons?

It doesn't. It stops with strings vibrating at different frequencies that make those things.

But...but...a string must be made of something too right? What holds the string together?

Baby Jesus

If Baby Jesus could have properly held a string, he would have started his "miracles" much earlier.

this chart is incomplete it fails to acknowledge the cosmic girth of my penis.

you cannot ignore my girth.

Can you point to a number?

Actually, it didn't really shake my atheism a bit. If anything, it just comes to show that our inflated sense of self-importance is nothing but pathetic when seen in a broader context... we live in a world we can't fathom, and nothing seems to care about it.

It certainly made my problems with established religions greater. As you imply, the idea the entire universe was designed for us seems ludicrous when placed against the sheer dimensions of the thing.

However, it definitely instilled a realisation that humanity is such a small speck of dust floating in the giddying depths of nothing that to pretend to understand existence is just arrogance. There could be realms of existence we'll never know, simply on a scale beyond our reach or comprehension.

Agnostics are just pussy atheists.
