As you can clearly tell from the picture below, the earth in tiny andinsignificant in the grand scheme of things.These so called superpowers of America, Europe and Russia are of no consequence when we actually sit down for a moment and reflect on how small we as a race actually are. And Humans as a species have only been lucky enough to have inhabitted this planet we call earth for a blink of an eye in what we understand of time.

As you can also see the Sun is 333,000 times bigger than the Earth. You could roughly fit 1 million earths inside the volume of the sun, if the sun exploded or burned out there would be no planets left in our solar system it would take ruffly about three mintes for us to realise that it had happend then about 3 seconds to die. So all the so called weapons of mass destruction pale in comparison to the awsome power of the sun.


And if you thought that the earth was small compared to the sun and the other planets in our own solar system then prepare to be blown away, the sun is just one of between several hundred million to trillions of stars out there in the Milky Way (our galaxy). And our own sun is realtivly small compared to some of the other giants out there.

This is the point when it all just starts to get silly if it wasn't already, we just can't fathom exactly how massive space actualy is the milky way is just one of around 125 billion galaxies in the universe some of these galaxy's are billions of years old and so far away that it wold be like an ant trying to travle around the world 50 to 60 times.

We have no idea just how utterly massive the universe is there is really no way to tell and it's always expanding. So all those non belivers out there that think that there is no life on other planets must be ignorant because if you even had 1% of the universe that could mabey have the same charactristics as Earth to support life then there would be thousand if not millions of other race's out there.
