As the French philosopher Auguste Comte once famously noted, "Everything is relative; and only that is absolute". In our everyday lives, we tend to forget about this all-encompassing relativity in the universe, as we're so used to seeing things practically and just from our own perspectives. However, there are those moments of clarity when we suddenly realize that we are but a speck of dust in the universe, a tiny mouse compared to the glory of nature, which is a truly humbling experience, we must admit.

This is exactly what these 12 fascinating photos below made us contemplate, as they compare ordinary people to various large objects, like the feather of a bald eagle, a blade of a windmill, or a whale shark. Scroll through to see just how small humans look in the grand scheme of things.
