Kinda funny and entertaining video on just how puny it is. It's also on TED.com, for anyone who likes to think that they are intelligent and enjoys, presentations, TED.com is the absolute bomb.

NS doesnt need to see your opinion posted in every thread. Just go to the threads that interest you and actually add something worthwhile instead of just posting for the fun of it.

You have Bill Nye in your icon, and then ask 'who the fuck cares' about a TED speech speaking about sizing of the basic component of the universe.

You are such a fucking idiot.

Oh look its poems.
And what does being in 10th grade have to do with anything? Because you are in 9th? Do you think acting like you know everything about TED makes you somehow superior in intelligence?

It was a joke.. If I wasn't joking I wouldn't be in Honor Bio.. I wouldn't be taking AP chem next year. And I am a freshman. Do you have an issue with it?

I didn't until I read that. Don't call age into the picture if you're clearly younger than someone else... It makes you look fucking stupid.

I honestly dont care about age. But you tried to call someone out for being in 10th grade, when you are younger...

And congrats on being in AP classes, its not like half of all high schools are in them or anything

How does being in Honors Bio or AP chem all of a sudden mean you're joking? Just because you're in advanced classes (assuming you're telling the truth) doesnt mean you care about or enjoy those subjects.

How about trying again, and explain the intended punch line of saying "who the fuck cares" or whatever it was you babbled.

Wow guys instead posting responses to the actual video, you just argued with each other over the internet for most of the thread so far. High fucking fives all around.

"How small is an atom??"
As small as Poems' brain. Ha ha.
No, but in all seriousness, this thread really took an unexpected turn to drama. For the better or the worse, that's up to you.

Awesome. And even when only considering our own single universe, for some people to think that we are the only piece of life in it, is just so retarded. Really, on a stretch of beach three feet deep that stretches for millions and millions of miles, we are the only grain of sand that matters? Highly improbable, if you ask me. There must be so much incredible life out there so many lightyears away, and some so advanced that it makes us look like simple, stupid cattle on a field.

I just watched your video, and although informative, isn't this stuff most of us already know?  It would be cool if I was young enough to have not taken a science class and already learned everything in the video, or it would have been cool if my teacher would have used videos like these instead of boring lectures.  One thing I forgot about was the density of the nucleus though, so that part was informative/interesting.

I never said it wasn't, I just thought it was a good layman term presentation, especially for people that never took physics or like myself and others read A Brief History of Time and other books.

I didn't watch the video, but I have a question that you probably won't be able to answer, but whatever.
So the multi-verse theory says there's an infinite amount of universes, and an infinite amount is created for every outcome, decision, etc. I also heard from a history channel show, that it "is" possible to jump from universe to universe if all your atoms are synchronized to the atoms in another universe. So, if there are an infinite amount of universes **absolutely anything** is possible. If this is true, why aren't we in between a constant tug-o-war between universes?

Just because it is possible doesn't mean it will ever happen. It's like string theory and if everything is aligned we can walk through a wall...but I doubt you'll ever see someone walk through a wall.

to go along with the multiverse theory in a way, since our universe is expanding constantly what if there are other 'universes' that are separated by a completely untouched nothingness and eventually our universe will reach another so that we're a part of a greater 2-pronged 'uni'verse

think of 2 drops of water moving around on a piece of wax paper and eventually combining into a bigger drop

But there's an infinite amount of universes. ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING is possible. This means there are an infinite amount of universes that are the exact same as ours, and many more infinites of universes with just us. If you think about, the laws of physics don't actually exist, except in certain universes.
