It sure is mind bogling. It's just numbers that we have no real understanding of. Even though we regularly hear finance figures of billions of dollars its just a meaningless number that we have no real experience of.
I just worked out that I have been alive for about 1.4billion seconds. But that still doesn't help me appreciate that as a real number.
But it's out there. There are more galaxies in that small space than we can see stars even from a dark site.
Is this the kind of stuff the acient Greek philosophers chewed the fat over?
