Whilst there are 23:56:04 in a Sidereal day (length of time for the earth to rotate), it's Solar time that we use to measure which not only includes the rotation of the earth but the orbit around the sun - hence a day is ~24hrs +/- 25secs.

The Atom is just before half way on the chart. http://scaleofuniverse.com/ Another fantastic fact I read recently, the largest void of nothing in Space we know of is called the Bootes Void. How big is it? 236,000 Cubic Megaparsecs. How big is a Megaparsec? 1 Megaparsec, is around 3 Cubic metres. Oh, with [b]67[/b] Zeros after it :lol: Approx 250 Million light years wide. (Light spins the earth around 7.5x per second, or 299,792,458 metres per second). The mind simply boggles at the vastness of the universe, if your into that kinda stuff, otherwise its just pointless large numbers. [/quote]
