thought two:
"The Romans had no word for 1 000 000 and rarely considered numbers of that size or larger."

Arabic numerals are something else. Go try to work this Roman style:
XXIV * IV = _____

is that not awesome to think about?

thought three
the universe/ galaxy/ solar-system/ earth really has no up nor down. it's just a matter of location.

e.g: if you were to dig a hole down down down into the bowels of the earth and didn't have to worry about magna or iron ore or whatever... you'd eventually start digging UP.
