Infinitesimally Small

We can see 93 billion light years into the Cosmos and that is our Observable Universe. In trying to see the ultimate we focus on matters available through the telescope and see its infinitesimal nature. Rather than the telescope having to see the far fringes of that space it is the magnanimity of its heart to peruse to see beyond. It is a way of opening up new vista of knowledge and trying to unfold the ultimate truth.

There is a very famous series of pictures in which the Earth and its size is shown first. Then it is compared to some bigger object in the solar system viz Jupiter and then to the Sun and you go on with bigger and bigger objects in the sky. Gradually the Earth size reduces and you cannot see it with naked eye and then vanishes and objects keep increasing in size forever

All this Makes your mind have a bigger conception of life and takes you beyond the ordinary and makes you feel infinitesimally small- an iota in the cosmic set up.
