Well, the Planck scale is on the order of 10^-35 M. Whereas the Visible Universe is on the order of 10^26 M. So, we're closer to the big stuff, QED. 
"Though parted by a gulf more impassable than any sea, the telescope lets us traverse what otherwise had been barred and lands us at last above the shores we went forth to seek. Real the journey is, though incorporeal in kind. Since the seeing strange sights is the essence of all far wanderings, it is as truly tavel so the eye arrive as if the body kept it company." Pervcival Lowell
