i think that the earth is larrger than life. I mean look at my little self against this huge sphere. Earth is my only home. I was born there, I will die there. There is nowhere else for me to go. I can't go live on Mars. It frightens me to know that my only home is in danger.....

Pretty one, yes, Earth, in universal terms, is small. But it is beautiful--the mountains, the oceans, the deserts, the absolutely incredible animals. We human primates, for one reason or another, haven't been kind to our home. But it is resilient, with our help it is apt to keep on spinning. Yes, it is your only home, and that of every other human being. Your post was stirring and really rather sweet and heartfelt. And, as a globalist and humanist, I thank you for it.

Earth is larger than lifeforms, yes. Larger than the universe? I have no idea how to respond to that. A speck of dust in the universe? I think that compared to the universe, the Earth is smaller than a speck of dust is compared to Earth. And "hanging" and "floating" do not describe how Earth exists in the cosmos.

Earth IS a speck of dust hanging in the universe. The sun is an insignificant star just like billions of other stars. The solar system consists of the sun + debris. The debris being the planets.

We are not hanging dear. Perpetually falling would be closer to the truth.
You are a spec on a spec adrift in a fantastically large universe.
It takes light about 5 nano-seconds to travel from your head to your toes.
A lightspeed trip across the known universe - 13 billion years.
The diameter of the earth is roughly 10 billion billion times smaller than the known universe.
So while it's important to me, it's nothing to the universe.

Actually, I believe the universe bends in upon itself, so if you traveled forever upward in our vacuum, you would eventually hit Earth in its revolution or would miss Earth entirely. This meaning is that our volome is limited. If planets and time didn't exist before, why can't we hold a limited volume?

Actually , i think you could squeeze something like 1,300
earths into Jupiter
so relatively earth is tiny
