And wouldn't even know it worked. chris M, maybe you have one window but a few people, like everyone working on particle collider projects, are in a glass rooms with telescopes.

I am sitting at my computer and the distance between me and the screen is about 2 feet. If I could shrink myself one trillion orders of magnatude smaller would I still only be 2 feet from the screen?

The less the viewer understands, the more fantastic the universe is, and the dumber is everyone who didn't watch that program, making the viewer feel clever about himself. Not that the universe isn't fantastic, but that's not something you deserve to have an idea about until you accept that time, space and sizes are infinite in all directions. Any other premise for looking at existence is either stupid or ludacris. Learning physics doesn't explain why anything is, only how. So if the why is your motive, you should dive into the Bible (the anti-infinite manifest for insect brains). Asking why anything exist is like asking why 1+1 is 4. It's an invalid question, a logical loop; Any answer can be attacked with the same question.

We can no more explain the universe than a person stuck in a room with one window for there entire life could explain the world outside.
