Really. I used to lose sleep thinking about this when I was a kid. Now I’m regressing, so, scientifically, just how big are we.
Peace,

Somewhere around 6 feet tall and 160 pounds, presumably.
Unless we’re female.
Generally, bigger than a breadbox.
1,000 m/kg squared of potential crammed inside a sack of meat generally somewhere between 2 - 150 kg.
Well yeah, if you happen to live in the Dinaric Alps.

But world wide we come up somewhat short of that lofty altitude.
Oh come on. Please to be defining “big” and “we”?
Unless this is a misplaced MPSIMS?
Bigger than the Beatles!
…well, we’re definitely bigger than Jebus…
Good answer, and with a citation! That’s very (wait for it…) big of you!
Big enough.
Right. I should have said “relatively”. Like on a celestial scale. It seems odd to me that we should be so infinitesimal, and yet so important. But I didn’t want to get Uncle Albert involved.
The universe revolves around me.
If you were to scale the human body up to the size of the known universe…
… my WAG is that you still wouldn’t be able to compare a human, let alone the earth, to a quark in one of the atoms in one of the cells of that universe-sized human. But I’m no cosmologist or mathematician… anyone want to do the math?
That’s what I mean.
Why the spoiler mask?
Elsie Partridge says Shame!
And, we’re not.
What, do *you *want to do the math? Please feel free!

You’re going to have to qualify the question a good deal more than that if you want this to stay in GQ. Are you simply asking how big humans are relative to the scale of the entire Universe?

We still are big. The thread got small.
It’s 149,597,892 kilometers from the Earth to the Sun. At an average walking speed, it would take you about 3413 years to walk to the Sun. Is this the kind of thing you’re looking for?
Begone, midget.
Important to who? Infinitesmial to who? Some of us are important to others of us, but size is relative. I’m small compared to my husband, he is small compared to an NFL linebacker…
What Cyn said. Who are we important to, other than ourselves?
