Universcale presents a visual representation of our universe in a way that is easy to understand. It starts from a proton, moves up to an atom, cells, the moon, galaxies and ends at the universe. From the site: This world in which we live, The universe that comprises our world. In order to better understand them, humans have assigned to them the concept of "size" so they may be comprehended by all. Nevertheless, there are actually very few things we can see with our eyes or feel with our own hands. Our curiosity brings us to use objects visible to the naked eye as yardsticks to identify those things invisible and to give them new units of measurement. We are now capable capable of comparing and ranking these entities. We have, in fact, been given an 'infinite yardstick'. By setting things up against this yardstick, observing and comparing them are we able to accurately identify their true forms. They are silent when merely observed, but spring to life when put to use in a unique, creative way. One thing we know for certain is that they are all around us in our close vicinity.
