I think "massive" is too small a word.

Lou has an inflatable "pregnancy" ball (sounds odd, but it's just a ball that's supposedly comfortable for pregnant ladies to sit on or something), about 65 cm or so high. I worked out the other day that, if I took that as a scale model of the sun, then the Earth would be a pea about 70m away, and the nearest other star to the solar system (Alpha Centauri) would be in New Zealand.

And that distance is tiny compared to the size of our galaxy (which contains over 100 billion stars). And our galaxy is just tiny compared to.... well, you get the idea.

What this means is that, unbelievable as it may seem, on a cosmic scale, your kibble score is pretty inconsequential.

Except, of course, that it's possible that my kibble could have a knock-on effect that makes the difference between the universe ceasing to exist, and nothing happening, or somebody inventing a new sort of biscuit.
