(2,252 posts)3. You should feel huge as well...
...since you're a quadrillion times bigger than a proton! (~1.6 meters compared to ~1.6 femtometers)
Though a quadrillion isn't such a big number - it's possible to count to 1 quadrillion. At one second per number one can complete the count in a mere 31,688,078 years.
BTW,a proton is 100 quintillion times larger than the Planck length, so they're huge too, in the right perspective.
