[Dialogue] Micro/Macro: Measuring things in the Universe

[Jack Gilles]

Randy,

Yes, the numbers are so huge and beyond our capacity to understand.  In our galaxy alone (about an average size one) there are 100 thousand million stars (100,000,000,000) and there are as many galaxies as there are stars in our galaxy, and that is just in the present limit of our ability to detect.

So the last frame depicting our universe--is that the macro, or could it be the micro?  Like most things, it all depends on where you're standing as you gaze upon it and where you draw the lines, i.e. where you impose the boundaries.
