On the edge of philosophy

In conclusion; by means of analogy, we can see that our earth is but a speck of dust on the side of a grain of sand, in a sandbox that is about 20 feet diameter, with the closest sandbox being about 1/3 mile away, and our local group of galaxies would be but a collection of sandboxes in a space about the size of a small city, and that there are other cities with groups of sandboxes as well, expanding out to the whole earth, with billions of other sandboxes each representing other galaxies, each containing billions of stars.
To be frank, I find it humbling. I also find it amazing that us people, living on that little fleck of dust, can set up a telescope in our backyard and witness this grand scale universe in action, by simply magnifying the view. We also have been given the ability to attempt to comprehend the scale of it all.
I will not pursue this point further here, as there is the line between physical reality and philosophy that need not to be crossed within the context of this article.
