The universe is so huge, and it's made up of such tiny particles.

I don't think I like that.

It will be OK if you don't try to count them.

It's even worse than you think:

Every cell is also 99.999 percent empty space with sub-atomic bundles
of energy whizzing through it at the speed of light. The cells in our
body vary from about .0002 to .0004 inches in diameter. Although mostly
space, these tiny energy-particle "wavicles" still make up two thirds
of our body weight, making us literally heavy with info-energy.

Wait until they're really stoned. Then tell
them to try and picture the universe, with all
its galaxies and stars and nebulae and planets
and asteroids and stuff. Give them a minute
to try to bring it up.

Then say, "Now picture everything in the
universe that's JUST EMPTY SPACE, that has NO
matter in it. The UN-UNIVERSE!"

If they don't vapor-lock, it will be several
minutes before they realize that you have just
asked them to have a mental picture a vacuum.

Whenever life get you down, Mrs. Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enu-hu-hu-huuuuff

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour
Of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way

Our Galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars
It's 100,000 light-years side-to-side
It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light-years thick
But out by us it's just 3000 light-years wide
We're 30,000 light-years from galactic central point
We go round every 200 million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
Because there's bugger all down here on Earth


so can we have your liver, then?
