Insignificantly Small v. Infinitely Large

The universe includes everything from the largest star to the smallest string. Everything is included in the universe, then the universe is considered infinite, is also expanding. Galaxy, just representing a tiny small fraction of universe. But somebody was asking 'Are universes thicker than blackberries?'
.
Our lovely planet is one of 11 planets orbitting the sun, the only star in the solar system, one of billions in the galaxy, one of billions & billions in the entire universe.

13 visited countries represent only 5% of those in the globe

minuscule Indonesia islands - located at middle right - in the Taman Mini area
(our home is only a tiny spot about 1 km away from the centre)

Our home is exactly right in the centre of the map above
(I can see swiming pools in the neighbourhood. Thanks to Google-map)


Blackberries in our palms

Perhaps universe may be not thicker than blackberry but I'm not pretty sure.

However, a galaxy is indeed comparably smaller than a blackberry. It was contained in a marble hanging in the necklace of a cat (named Orion - see below) and we can clearly see it's size compared to blackberry. The Men in Black have saved its existence once from the UFO agents (or alien bugs?)...
