How small am I?

That’s me a very long time ago just before I got out of the U.S. Army at Fort Hood Texas.

Exactly how small are You? At my age today, I know I am very small. On my first book, I wrote a Quote I like to use-Who I am is not important, who you are is…

So, in other words, no matter where you are from India, China, Russia, Turkey, South America, Mexico, Middle East, UK, Europe, Japan, South Korea. Philippines, Ukraine, Australia. Okinawa, Hawaii, I completely acknowledge YOU and how important you are. No matter how or what you are feeling, no matter, you are super special and don’t let anyone say otherwise. I sincerely and greatly appreciate that you decided to take the time to read or view what I Posted on my Blog. And I admit, I gave written a ton of them. And at times, I might seem intensity to others and I do apologize to you for that.

One day,

With all the knowledge we have about out 🌎, the galaxies, the universes, how small is man size wise? In terms of physical size, humans typically range from about 4 to 6 feet (approximately 1.2 to 1.8 meters) tall. However, when considering the vastness of the universe, even the tallest humans are infinitesimally small. To put it into perspective, if you were to compare the size of a human to the size of the observable universe, it would be like comparing a single grain of sand on a vast beach to the entire beach itself. Our physical dimensions are incredibly minuscule when viewed in the context of the cosmos.

So, how small am I? How small are you?

The observable universe is estimated to be about 93 billion light-years in diameter. If you were to compare the size of a single grain of sand to the size of the observable universe, it would be an extremely tiny fraction.

To provide a rough estimate, imagine a grain of sand is about 1 millimeter in diameter. Now, convert this to meters (since we’re discussing the size of the universe in meters):

1 millimeter = 0.001 meters

So, a grain of sand is about 0.001 meters in diameter. Now, let’s compare this to the diameter of the observable universe:

93 billion light-years ≈ 8.8 x 10^26 meters

Now, let’s calculate the ratio:

(0.001 meters) / (8.8 x 10^26 meters) ≈ 1.14 x 10^-28

So, a grain of sand is approximately 1.14 x 10^-28 times the diameter of the observable universe. This is an incredibly small fraction, highlighting just how minuscule we are compared to the vastness of the cosmos.
