Am infinitesimal and astronomical!

To embark upon, my existence in this universe does not affect anything or anybody else in this endless world. Only to whom it matters is just my family and friends. So, it does not matter whether I exist or not because I am too minute to be visible on the scale of the cosmos itself. 93 billion light years what astronomers believe to be the size of the observable universe ( universe discovered till now). If my calculations are not wrong, my size is just 1.86E-29 percent of the size of the universe and the average diameter of an atom is 1-2 Armstrong. So, to the entire universe, am not even close to the size of an atom and an insignificant body.

Nevertheless, for a typical human of 70 kg, there are almost 7x10E27 atoms (that’s a 7 followed by 27 zeros!) . Nextly, there are about atleast 1 billion trillion stars in the observable universe (that’s a 1 followed by 21 zeros!). So, basically I have more number of atoms in my body as there are stars in the observable universe. Ergo, my body, itself is an entire universe of atoms and a behemoth to these atoms.
