You are not the centre of the Universe!

I'm not sure if this (or something quite similar) has been posted in the past, and I bet that a bunch of you have probably seen this, but I'd like to share it with the people who haven't, anyway.

Star Comparison:

So, what are your thoughts on this comparison? I was personally blown away 0.o.

I only claim to be the center of the galaxy.

The same thing applies, darn it!

I am (in a parallel universe).

I've seen the comparison in a picture before. Pretty crazy stuff O___O

I am the center of my own universe. There just happens to be a lot of empty space on one side.

So what? There are things that are bigger out there than me, can they live? No so they can go **** themselves. I am why living matters all those stars can go die and have me notice several million years later

You sound on the verge of a "spree"

Well, when the video says "you're not the centre of the Universe!", I believe it's implying that, no matter how important you think you are, you are still a very little part in the grand scheme of the Universe. Granted, a galaxy is significantly smaller than the Universe, but it is still immensely huge, and, therefore, I find that the same thing still applies.

Cool video. I actually already knew about that, but it's still cool to see. I once had a few pictures that had similar size comparisions, but I lost it.

Yeah; although there are a lot of other videos like it on YouTube, I personally like this one because of the great animations, video quality, and nerve-wrecking music :P

i'm the center of my universe.

I've seen this before, though in a different form. I may not be the center of the shared universe, but I am the center of my own objective reality.

The whole Universe gravitates around my awesomeness!

Is there even a center of the universe? I don't think so :?

I am lost in this universe. Far away from my real home.

Lies!! All Lies!! :evil:

I'm at every corner, I'm at all kinds of places.

Of course not, I'm the center of the universe.xaos

British / Canadian spelling damnit!

I am a living manifestation of my own dimension 8) trust me... I am indeed the center Lol

I hate when people think I'm an idiot for spelling it "centre" :evil:

That's just how it is spelled up north. -_-

The problem is your death is meaningless.. While their death would effect the current solar system (something you cannot even do) as well as the many around it.. Furthermore if large enough it would create a effective nebula for creation of new stars..

Of course not, I'm the center of the universe.xaos

Xaos your so fat the gravity you produce makes everything revolve around YOU, instead of vice versa.

If there is a centre of the Universe who's to say I'm not it?I could be the centre of the Universe and just not quite realise it. I mean unless you can confirm where the centre of the Universe actually is, or even what it is (Or if it actually is anything.), then by default I see nothing wrong with seeing myself as the centre of the Universe.

We arn't even in the center of our own galaxy (thank god for that, because we would be dead).

I'm the center of my own reality:P

Dosn't mean you can't be at the centre of the Universe. It's not as if the centre of the Galaxy is the centre of anything else anyway.

Amazingly, videos like that make me more of an Atheist than I could ever imagine.

No, I really am.cpo335

Not sure how that would be possible.. Seeing as we are moving.. ANd if we are judging it by the position of the galaxies we see.. We most certainly are not due to all galaxies more or less moving away from one another, from a point of origin.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that there are two other large stars in between Mu Cephei and VY Canis Majoris, those being VV Cephei A and WOH G64. I can say why those would've been left out like some other stars, though, as it would be redundant to include them all. I also wonder why the creator of this video decided to omit Uranus. And, I know it's no longer considered to be a planet, but it would've been nice to see, say, Pluto in comparison to Majoris, lol.

In the end, this really makes me think of the scale of the Universe. These stars are only in the Milky Way, and then there are countless other galaxies in the Universe, and then the possiblity of multiple Universes. Mind-boggling to me!

thanks for sharing with me something I knew when I was 3 years old.EMOEVOLUTION

Everybody seems to be taking the topic title way too seriously. Did you even watch the video? If you did, you would see at the end what I meant by the centre of the Universe statement. Don't look at it from the aspect of being the most important person in the Universe, because that's not what it means in this context.

I think you mean Pluto.. Would be interesting if he decided to compare it to a super black hole.. Though smaller then most of the stars there, it has the mass of millions to billions of times of our local star.

I feel so insignificant now.
