    Real astronomer here and i am surprised the video did not tap this down to layman's terms so folks can comprehend just how fast the speed of light really is. At 186,000 mps (miles per SECOND) that is 7 times around the Earth in one second. Think about maintaining that speed for over 4 years to the closest Sun, Alpha Centauri. Human's have no metal or engine anywhere close to the technology. Little trivia for those of you that were Lost in Space tv show fans, Alpha Centauri was mentioned in the show and really is the closest Sun to planet Earth. Its actually a triple star system but i digress.

      The cosmic inflation number you guys laughed at has been getting quite the review in the last 5 yrs as that knowledge was from the late 1980's. The CERN Lab in Europe has changed astronomy's whole notion of time and space. Officially called cosmic inflation theory, it has not been totally discarded but does lack proof. Astronomers know the big bang happened 13.7 billion yrs ago but the question is what was there before the event. From any explosion you can trace it back in time and that is what we did with the cosmic background radiation the explosion left as a trail. In 1964 Penzias and Wilson first discovered CMB (cosmic background radiation) and measured it at 3.5K and led to confirm the big bang theory. The 2 Americans went on to win the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1978 for their groundbreaking discovery.

    I dont think being small makes us irrelevant, its the other way around. Because everything we have, and are, is so close it should be treasured that much more. Nothing else that we can see or detect has what he have and we are unique. Whether there is other life out there it's not human life nor any other species on our planet.

    So I can explain how we know/discovered all of this! And I'll do it in "Physics for Poets" style.
    So, first a question: Why do you want new phones with cameras that have more megapixels?
    Same with telescopes - we all want better pictures! So every since the first telescope was invented 500ish years ago, people wanted something better.
    Galileo: "Look! Jupiter has 4 little moons around it!"
    Cassini: "Whoa! Saturn has this huge honking ring around it!"
    Later Generations: "Cool! But it's all fuzzy … let's try inventing better telescopes."
    Basic human stuff: the more we saw, the more we wanted to see it _better._
    The next ingredient is Geometry. The Ancient Babylonians, 4000 years ago, had figured out (1) the Earth is a sphere; (2) the Earth's radius [i.e. how big the Earth is]; (3) that the moon was 30 Earths away, or "60 times the radius of the Earth. All with Geometry. And math: we actually have clay tablets from Ancient Babylon with some kid's math-homework on it! [The Ancient Babylonians were obsessed with the number 60. Religious significance, apparently.]
    We can use that same Geometry to figure out how large all of the planets' orbits are and how far away they are. And as we made better and better telescopes, we could take that same Geometry and apply it to those better images. And with that, we were now measuring how far away the stars are.
    The Sun is a pretty important thing, we can all agree. So, no surprise, people wanna know how the damn thing works! And how far away it is. But, see, once you know that, you can then compute how bright the Sun looks on Mars. And around Jupiter. And at Saturn. That same math and physics also lets us compute how bright each star looks close up.
    Well, once we figured out that the stars were just other suns. So, once we knew how the Sun works, we knew how _all stars_ work. And we were already measuring how far away the nearby ones were. And we can measure how bright they look _here_ on Earth. That's all you need to compute how bright each star is close up.
    And once you know how a star works, and how bright it is, guess what? You can calculate _how big the star is!_
    Okay, so: the Geometry part, which we need to measure how far away a star is, only really works out about 6000-8000 light-years, if I remember correctly. I won't bore you with the math behind why unless you really wanna know. So how do we know about all that stuff *millions* of light-years away?!?!?
    Enter "The Ladder of Standard Candles"
    Remember how we all wanted to know how the Sun worked? And how that then told us how the stars work? Well, after watching lots of stars to _make sure we had our models right_, we started seeing behaviors that the Sun don't do. And some stars seemed to act in the same "different-from-everyone-else" ways. Back to the whiteboard - time to enhance the models about stars!
    Okay, great. We know more and more about stars … different kinds of stars even … the more and more we look out there in space with our telescopes, which we always want to keep making better. Throwing the Hubble Space Telescope into, well, space helps us see more clearly. There are other space-telescopes, but they don't look at the sky using visible light. They look at infra-red, microwaves, x-rays, gamma-rays - which are actually all different "colors" of light that we can't see. But that's an explanation for another time.
    Turns out certain kinds of stars are always the same brightness. Like, exactly the same. So say you have one of this kind of star "nearby" … near enough that we can still use the Geometry part of computing how far away it is _and how bright it is close up._ But Remember: this kind of star always has the same brightness as the others! So once you know how bright one of them is close up, you know how bright they all are.
    Take actual brightness. Take "how-bright-does-it-look-to-us". You can compute the distance to _any_ of this kind of star, no matter how far away, no Geometry problems anymore! It's a "Standard Candle" glowing in the dark.
    And if we see one of this kind of star in another galaxy, when we compute how _far away it is,_ we also know how _far away the galaxy_ that it's in is. We now have a way to figure out the distance to nearby galaxies.
    But, again, this technique can only get us so far. To figure out larger distances, we need more knowledge. More physics, more chemistry, more astronomy. And wouldn't you know, in the past 50-70 years, we've been figuring all that out.
    There's a certain kind of supernova that's always the same brightness. This is the next "Standard Candle". So we used the "certain-kind-of-star" technique to measure how far away a nearby galaxy with one of these supernovas is.
    And Here We Go Again: "How far away it is" + "how bright does it look from Earth" gives us "How bright was this exploding star to anyone close enough to get fried by it?" This kind of supernova is always an identical explosion, so look for others in galaxies even further away and measure how bright the bang looks from Earth. We know how bright it is close up. We can measure the distance to it.
    And this new "Standard Candle" in the dark is frickin' exploding star! Kinda hard to miss. Really easy to still see from very, very, VERY FAR away.
    But this still doesn't get us to the very outer edges of The Observable Universe. For that, we use the expansion of the universe [discovered by Edwin Hubble at the start of last century] and the Cosmic Background Radiation [discovered, accurately measured, and modeled at the end of last century]. Okay, so I'm being _really handwavy_ here. Can't be helped. Just know that we use this information _combined with all of the science, measurements from telescopes of all kinds, and techniques for computing distances_ to get us to the furthest reaches of the Observable Universe.
    So it's not just one person figuring this out. It's 4000 years of humans, generation after generation, learning, discovering, observing, computing, _and using what the previous generations learned_ to figure out the new stuff _that the next generation_ will build upon.

    In fact, people are not small, medium-sized objects on the scale of the universe and even slightly larger than average. The smallest distance in the universe is considered to be the Planck length. It is 1,616,255(18)⋅10^-35 m. Roughly speaking, it is 10^-35 times less than a meter or 10^-32 times less than a millimeter. 10^32 is 100 nonillions or 100 thousand billions, billions, billions. Here is how this number looks like 100000000000000000000000000000000. In general, 1 with 32 zeros. So, the dimensions of the observable universe are 880 * 10^24 meters or 880 yottameters. Or it can be represented as 10^26 degrees of meters, for convenience. So, if we take the most approximate, convenient values of the Planck length and the size of the observable universe, we will get a gap from 10 ^ -35 to 10 ^ 26 meters and the average value on this scale will be from 10 ^ -5 to 10 ^-4, while the size of a person on this scale is 10 ^ 0. The size of our galaxy will be 10^20, the atom 10^-10, the Earth 10^7. And I'll tell you this, 10^ -5 - 10^-4 meters is 10-100 micrometers or 0.01-0.1 millimeters, and this is the size of some bacteria. They are the average-sized objects in the universe and a person is 10-100 thousand times larger than them. And for reference, 0.1 millimeters is the minimum size that we can see with an unarmed eye. So we are not so small on the scale of the universe and even slightly larger than the average size of objects 😄 (Sorry for my poor English)

    Lots of folks see this and say, "There has to be life elsewhere."
    Honestly, I think that's rather weird. From a purely scientific viewpoint (biophysics, biology, laws of probability, genetics, etc.), there shouldn't even be life here. Meaning that with everything we know _for certain,_ accidental life is ruled out. Many still try to push the notion, but they ultimately fail. They have to ignore the things we know _for certain_ in order to postulate their theories. Everything from the "primordial soup" theory to the "RNA world" (do I have that name right?) theory, falls apart.
    They can't even adequately defend the stuff they claim to know about planet and star formation. They don't _publicly_ admit this, of course. You have to read their books. In the astrophysics field they are even known to refer to Dark Matter and Dark Energy as Easter Bunnies. Try to work out why. lol 😊
