Why is everything in space so big and we are so dang small
I'm not but I'm built different

because on the big scale gravity is the dominant effect. life needs electromagnetism and all the chemistry it provides to be dominant to reveal itself.
>>16959906space is infinite with a lot of room, also it's always expanding all the fucking time.
>>16959914We must get built differently to stop becoming too close and enlarged with ourselves. I heard that to exist on a layer just beyond ourselves requires a multiplication of something like x2-3 people into another. It has something to do with energy restraints; you mentally encompass more knowledge.
>>16959921On the contrary, my friend. Gravity is weak. It takes a whole ass planet to pull us down and it's far from breaking the bonds of our atoms. We counter it with fridge magnets.
>>16960515true but that's on the macroscopic level isn't it? as far as i understand, the earth is pretty insignificant scale-wise if we're talking about all the things in space that are big in accordance to OP. granted you still see how powerful the other forces are once you take into account the magnetic flux of things like pulsars, but still, you end up with a scenario where all the other forces are irrelevant, and those forces are necessary for complex life to emerge is my point. there's a hard cap on how powerful the EM force can be, and that's the speed that repulsive forces move particles apart, which has to be below c.meanwhile mass can accumulate, increasing gravity, increasing mass accumulating, all in a positive feedback loop until all other forces are negligible. i get what you mean by stating it takes a huge amount of mass compared to how much matter is needed to counter its effect of pulling things together, but only when we're dealing with normal celestial bodies imo.
>>16959906We aren't that small, on the scale between the smallest thing (planck length) and the biggest thing we know of (observable universe), humans land about slap bang in the middle. We are literally the average size of a thing in the unvierse, not particularly small or big, but much bigger than certain things and much smaller than others.
>>16959906You're thinking of things too far out of reach. "Why is the moon so far away?" when you can't even sail to Greenland yet.
