Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
"Our understanding of time, Einstein said, is based on its relationship to our environment. Weirdly, the faster you travel, the slower time moves. The most radical interpretation of his theory: Past, present, and future are merely figments of our imagination, constructs built by our brains so that everything doesn’t seem to happen at once."
And I just found this, I worked it out myself a year or 2 ago when I was trying to understand the distance between nearby objects:
* If the moon were represented by a grain of sand, the Earth would be like a pea and 22cm away.
* The Sun would be the size of a washing machine, 86 metres away
* Jupiter would be the size of an apple, ½ kilometre from the washing-machine sun
* Pluto would be less than grain of sand and a lonely 4km away
