My friend, Maxine, did me a huge favour by sharing this link from the smallest thing known to man to the largest observable thing known to man this webpage is as awe-inspiring as it is vertigo-inducing. Honestly my head hurts from the experience but in a really good way.

I still can't comprehend how all the humans stood head to toe have a length greater than the diameter of the sun. I think that's the first stat that has allowed me to comprehend just how many of us there are.
I won't be able to sleep to night as my mind is blown.
