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.

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.
