That's pretty cool. It reminds me of an old movie about orders of magnitude and scale that just went through factors of 10 in constant time from a person out to the observable universe.

It's weird how there are vast scales where there's nothing.

I would imagine vast scales of nothing are 'easier' (in the cosmis sense) to accomplish and maintain.

Humongulous amounts of something leads to complications.
