The universe’s hidden mass may be made of black holes, which could wobble the planets of the solar system when they pass by

Black holes the size of an atom that contain the mass of an asteroid may fly through the inner solar system about once a decade, scientists say. Theoretically created just after the big bang, these examples of so-called primordial black holes could explain the missing dark matter thought to dominate our universe. And if they sneak by the moon or Mars, scientists should be able to detect them, a new study shows.

    The earth is estimated to “weigh” 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds.

    Mt. Everest is only 357,000,000,000,000 pounds

    My point is that we need a better way to portray scale of things in the universe.

    Well, for a start, God uses the metric system.
