I'm just asking this as a teaser, not very serious.
If you think of it. the earth, or for that matter any planet, can be considered as the centre of the solar system with the sun taking a near-circular orbit around it. Mercury and venus would be 'moons' of the sun. The planets from Mars to Pluto would then orbit around the earth in elliptical orbits.

OK, Since we all know that the earth was spinnin cool until the moon ran into it and put this planet on "BAKE" and then with it's slower rotation, all the water molocules floatin round de air began fallin an made de ocean. Now with heat, light, water and earth elements, a little wiggle and OMG the whole earth upstartsta bubble in a boiling mess of life. So, we know this fo'shizzy. But yo know what I done Wizzy? I try-n fizzle out how the done dizzy gets away wit da mo-hizzle-hizzy?
No, that didn't make sense!
I'm wunderin if we got just a long ride in front of use on the way to the sun. Kinda like a quarter rollin down the damn funnel chute of a charity "Hey throw your money in here and watch your money spin round and round untill it's gone never to be seen again, thingy." How come we aren't taking more drastic steps to contact an alien Taxi cab?
Tell me, How does this make you feel?

We all know that everything that is matter takes space of something. My house takes space of the city, which takes space of the state, which takes space of the country, which take space of earth, solar system, galaxy, universe, and etc. Is it possible that our uncomprehenbile vast universe is no more significant than something the size of an atom??

By 'known universe' I mean all that can be ascribed to the original Big Bang, whether observable (eg. stars, planets) or not (parts of the universe from from where no light has reached us yet).
Or in other words, what if the Big Bang phenomenon is but one in a billion that happened (or is happening) with regularity within a larger 'super universe'? My imagination is that these billions (trillions?) of Big Bangs could conceivably form a structure similar to a large galaxy, or planetary system, or one of the many structures we observe at the subatomic and superatomic level.

I just don't see how they had the technology back then to do it, let alone have it on live tv broadcast!!!!! and I think if it were true, by now there would be timeshares for sale on the moon!

Light moves 1.86 * 100,000 miles in one second (1.86 times 100,000).

A light-year is the distance light moves in one year.

Show that a light year is about 5.88 trillion miles.
