Scale of the Universe Lets You Scroll From Subatomic Particles Up to the Known Universe

Big things are big, and small things are small. If you’ve ever wanted to compare big things to small things, here’s your chance. The site Scale of the Universe lets you scroll from the tiniest subatomic particles all the way up to the size of the known Universe to give you an idea of how things compare.

The site is really worth checking out for at least a few minutes, but if you’re in a hurry, here’s a quick GIF.
