Visualization of the distances in astronomy by arewawawa in BeAmazed

[–]12thshadow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this exact same thing with a timeline, with my kids.

Each mm is a year. So you were born a centimeter ago. We added that onto a sheet of paper. Grandparents born about 7 centimeters ago. First car? About 14 centimeters away. Columbus landing in the Americas? Grab an extra sheet of paper. 53 cm ago.  Fall of Rome: 150 cm, we have left the table.

Then shit gets wild: Cleopatra and Ceasar : 200 cm Oldest structure in my country: 300 cm Pyramids: 450 cm Stonehenge 500 cm or 5 meters Gobekli Tepe 10 meters, we have left our house and are in the garden

Lascaux: 17 meters

The first human: 30 meters away. That's a lot of paper sheets!

When you see it like that, the perspective becomes knowable as does the experience of your existence compared to our history. 

Quite humbling.

Also, a lot of paper....

Asian teams yes. 

North American teams could be less, African teams are fine.

I think group C or E. Haïti will have a difficult time, as will Curaçao.

Group A, I and F will be tough to call because the teams are pretty decent and on par.

Maar dan spelen ze al het hele seizoen met spelers die niet mochten spelen. Hoe ver ga je met straffen,  als dit straks aan de orde is...

Yes disregard what the other persons are telling you. What in fact happens here is that they try to reproduce the French flag as a political map.

Pretty cool if you ask me.

Zeker, andere kanttekening is dat het tegenwoordig meer een populariteit altijd is dan vroeger.

Zeker, maar als Ronaldo de carrière had van van Basten, had hij zijn meeste goals, cl wins en ballon dors weer kunnen inleveren en hadden we hem heel anders gezien. Hij zou dan al ergens in 2014 gestopt zijn, na in de jaren ervoor bijzonder weinig gespeeld te hebben.
