I sometimes think of it this way - when looking at pictures of galaxies, they appear as a connected whole, a unified entity held together by its gravity. But from my human perspective, a galaxy is a collection of a huge number of disjoint places and events which are completely isolated from another on the timescale of my lifetime, or even the lifetime of our civilization. I don't know if that is intelligible...
