Just remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving and revolving at nine hundred miles an hour, that’s orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it’s reckoned a sun that is the source of all our power. The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see are moving at a million miles a day. In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour, of the galaxy we call the Milky Way.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It’s a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light years thick but out by us it’s just three thousand light years wide. We’re thirty thousand light years from galactic central point, we go around every two hundred million years and our galaxy is only one of millions of billions in this amazing and expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding, in all of the directions it can whiz.
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know, twelve million miles a minute and that’s the fastest speed thereis. So remember when you’re feeling very small and insecure, how amazingly unlikely is your birth and pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space because there’s bugger all down here on earth.
I don’t want to criticize internet absurdity for many reasons, including but not limited to the fact that I depend on it to survive. Having said that, what’s the application of a length to area ratio?

Gotta appreciate the classics.
Might as well watch it

You lost me at miles
Edit: /s for brevity
Same. Miles per second? What the hell kinda unit is that? Over here, we use Texases per lamb’s tail shakes.
Score of furlongs per Mississippi

I am referencing the Mississippi, a time unit. One Mississippi is equal to roughly one second.
Wow, that’s a lot better than my comment. Sorry I whiffed it.
