There was much speculation leading up to Facebook's product rollout announcement on Wednesday -- and for once, it was right on the money.

It's difficult enough for most humans to grasp the idea that our planet is just one of countless others in our galaxy -- and a pretty small one, at that. Then, of course, there's the concept that our galaxy is just one of billions of others in the universe -- sure to compound any confusion considera...
