It is absolutely amazing how tiny our sun is in comparison to other stars.

Off topic. This will probably be moved to Starbase Cafe.

My mind exploded after Rigel. After that I resorted to the foetal position to properly deal with my insignificance

How relative are the words "huge" and "tiny"...

That size comparison one is awesome. I'm always amazed about how impossible it is to comprehend the size of the universe.

Yes if I had meant to imply that our sun is the smallest I would have said "all other stars."
The point of my post was not about semantics, but just how miniscule we are, considering Earth is so very tiny compared to our sun, and yet our sun is very tiny compared to [some] other stars. There is a certain insignificance that one might feel.

My theory is that beneath quarks lies pizza. Its the only thing strong enough to hold shape, yet adapt to new situations at that small of a level. The same holds true for the opposite. The universe is a giant pizza. Not a normal cheese-pepperoni-sausage one, but one of the really weird ones they eat over in Japan, with avocados and grass and worn panties and weird shit like that on it. And it came out of a vending machine.

Well, if being larger than miniscule insects makes you feel better, then more power to you.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

If you approximate the number of quarks in the universe, the number in our bodies is more than the square root of that number.
We're about halfway up the chain of being titanic.
