It's not great quality but it sure is amazing, it also demonstrates what Exobyte was saying. I'd like to see one starting from Subatomic particles up to Red supergiants. Keep searching around those pages looking at the similar videos because they all have something slightly different but very good.

This one is also very very good.

I really have to encourage more lucid dreams about this type of thing.

For interests sake, I'd like to see a hypothetical situation of two of those things crashing into each other

A huge huge huge super giant is made then it collapses into a big damn black hole and sucks up everything in the universe within a matter of minutes. Then the big bang happens again and everybody goes, "Awwww fuck!"

That's my hypothesis!

You hypothesis fails!

A huge huge huge super giant is made then it collapses into a big damn black hole and continues to stay in its same orbit around the galactic center, which is a black hole thats has the mass of millions of solar masses, and the whole universe stays pretty much the same except for that collision.

I was very close, but I started to stray torwards the end.

That is entirely possible. When I made the image, I was in kind of a hurry...

Ahh, didnt realise you were a member of this forum

, awesome image by the way. I much prefer this type of comparison than the zoom out comparison on youtube, its alot easier to appreciate the size difference.

Keep up the good work.

Yeah, that's what I've always thought, too. After all, some of the scales they were trying to compare in that youtube video were just too massive to be appreciated visually. Actually, I think this image is just about at the limit of things that can be reasonably compared, visually.

Wow Asymptote thats a very impressive image and nice visual. I don't care about the shadow the the visual preception of the size difference is what captures people, in the end thats the only thing thats really important.

Good Job
