Mag World: Developing an Intuitive Sense of Scale for Life and the Universe

Developing an Intuitive Sense of Scale

I created Mag World to help you grasp the true magnitude of numbers, moving beyond simple comparisons to understand exactly how much bigger or smaller things are. We use a simplified notation to build fluency in scale, applying it to everything from daily life to the cosmos. You can now explore our podcast or install a browser plugin for Firefox and Chrome to instantly convert webpage numbers into our intuitive Mag World units.

"Mag World is an effort to develop an intuitive sense of scale--not just 'bigger' or 'smaller', but how much bigger, and how much smaller."
