The human race is at the height of their technological advancement and believes it is time to explore and conquer other planets they deem weaker than they own. However the Earth is soon visited by a gigantic alien race that can't even perceive them and leaves viewing the planet too small to conquer. This enlightens the people of Earth that they are still a small fish in a much bigger pond.
