Just one Pale Blue Dot. We ALL feel that way ALL THE TIME, you don't see us blabbing on about it.

Blabbing on is right. Sixty seconds of that and I got the point at least ten times over.
I've always felt Sagan's Pale Blue Dot to be quite profound...

This film would be more awesome if it was like a upgraded pale blue dot with Carl Sagan narrating.
Ryan that vid made me teary eyed.
It gets so crazy when you consider that the known universe is only a piece of the actual universe and that it fits inside an even larger endless gathering of infinite shit.
Do you remember a long, long time ago, you, me and Marieke sat up all night reading about about the universe and finding out there's billions of galaxies? I remember day dreaming that exact video, right before we came up with plausible time travel and finding a porno based on Resident Evil.
The "many worlds" interpretation is just one, and there's still much work to be done on a system that succesfully combines relativity and quantum mechanics. It's very likely there's stuff just beyond the "universal horizon" though. Past a certain point, light speed doesn't catch up to universal expansion. It's not that the matter is going faster than light, so much as the space is expanding faster than light.
