What’s so terribly wrong with a whimsical question, anyway? Are we that big on ourselves?
I’d say that ‘big’ implies that relativistic effects are important. We’re outside that scale.
Y’know, I’m not sure. I think I thought I was being clever and all, making you think I had an answer, but it was really just another leading question. Yeh, looking back, it makes no sense at all to use a spoiler there. Hrmm… I’m not a proud man, nor very big.
According to von Neumann and Wigner, as we gained consciousness, we Teleologically collapsed the wavefunction of the universe.
Without us (conscious observers) there could be no physical reality.
We are the creators of the universe.
WE ARE THE MASTERS!!
We are about half way between Plank scale (10 to the neg. 43rd power) and cosmic scale(10 to the 27th power). I hope this helps.
If you would’ve asked my son that question about when he was about 3, he would’ve spread his arms and said, “Soooo big!”
There isn’t much that’s bigger than a three year old’s outstretched arms.
“I love you this much.”
Can’t touch that.
I think this thread became either too big or too small for GQ some time ago, I’m not sure which.

Little human upon the sand,
From where I’m lying here in your hand,
You to me are but a passing breeze
