You read about the difficulty of attempting to convey the actual scale of the solar system, but I've never seen an illustration or representation that really does it justice, until this:

Scroll slowly in between planets. Not only to read the text, but to help it sink in just how far apart these tiny bodies are, and how much nothingness there is in between.
I can't imagine inter-stellar distances. Or even inter-galactic. Or inter-super-cluster distance. The distance between superclusters of galaxies.

Yeah, attempting to grasp the distance between the planets of our own local Logoic system is difficult for our Earth-wired minds,
much less distances between stars, and more so between galaxies.
A seeming Great Emptiness. Or as Ra would say, plenum.
There's a lot of room for new stars. Enough room for everyone (in all densities) to be able to create their own star, if they could.
Daniel, in his latest article "The Colonization of Tiamat", wrote about Astronomy 2.0, where galactic distances may not be what we think. He also explained the confusion between solar systems, star systems and galaxies in the Ra Material.
Quote:The Ra Material 16.35:
Ra: I am Ra. I see the confusion. We have difficulty with your language. The “galaxy” term must be split. We call “galaxy” that vibrational complex that is local. Thus, your sun is what we would call the center of a galaxy. We see you have another meaning for this term.
Elkins: Would you define the word “galaxy” as you just used it?
Ra: I am Ra. We use that term in this sense as you would use star systems.

Very interesting stuff especially if you are into astronomy.
The way I understand it, by the time we are "ready" for extended travel, we have become truly interdimensional. Connecting point A to point B instead of traveling from point A to point B.

Very cool! He describes the side effects of the "lens" surrounding the earth. People get bent out of shape when you tell them you would freeze on the surface of the sun rather than burn. Trying to explain the lens causing a focus of energy similar to a magnifying glass on ants is usually met with blank stares.
