It really puts the complexity of DNA into perspective...

According to google, “each person has around 60 trillion feet or around 10 billion miles of DNA inside of them. The Earth is about 93 million miles away from the sun. So your DNA could stretch to the sun and back 61 times.”....That’s some serious code!

I do not mean IO or Europa.

If you think the cosmic scale is mind boggling, take a look at quantum physics.

I love these scale models

In my town there are some on a bike path that show distance and size to scale. Is amazing how much “space” there is out there. Fun fact, in about 4.5 billion years or so when the Andromeda and Milky Way Galaxy’s collide, the chances of two stars hitting i... 

thanks for this visual Ron - very insightful!
