In our depths, I think we all feel very small in relation to the greater universe and God.

Any astrophysicist does not feel small looking up at the universe; we feel large.

I demonstrate by means of philosophy that the earth is round, and is inhabited on all sides; that it is insignificantly small, and is borne through the stars.

A thing is mighty big when time and distance cannot shrink it.

Everything around us is scale dependent. It's woven into the fabric of the universe.

The world is shrinking as we see more and more of it in the media, and the more we see of the world, the smaller we are, the more aware we are of how insignificant any one of us is.

Once you've been in space, you appreciate how small and fragile the Earth is.

Geological age plays the same part in our views of the duration of the universe as the Earth's orbital radius does in our views of the immensity of space.

Super-Earths are how we call a family of planets... up to two times larger and about ten times more massive than the Earth.

Life is not shrinking for me; it's morphing into a whole new world of possibilities.
