Also interesting: If you were to take your nerves out and lay them end on end you would die.

Actually interesting factYour height is closer in scale to a light second than the size of an atom. And yet atoms seem more approachable than light seconds. Fascinating stuff!

There might even be more hydrogen atoms in one molecule of water, than there are universes we live in!
