"Everything around us is made of atoms.
Scientists so far have found only 115 different kinds of atoms.
Everything you see is made of different combinations of these atoms."

Over-simplified to the point of becoming a half-truth. But still. Damn. I mean, DAMN.

You forget these things a lot, that "infinite nature of the universe" is not just some mushy hippie buzzword tied more strongly to fake patchwork skirts than a style of thought. Every once in awhile something breaks my cynicism. it's nice.
I think the trick is to keep reminding yourself that there are things you cannot see.
