i’ll take this over the universe cone thing

kakes ,

That white box seems waaaay too big to me.

wizzor ,

I thought so too, but its log scale, so who knows.

Also remember that the longest distance you've ever traveled is an unknown quantity but guaranteed to be huge, since the earth itself is careening through space

ShittyBeatlesFCPres ,

Maybe it counts what we’ve explored via telescopes? Like, JWST can look far back at specific things and all-sky surveys only look so far.

Gork ,

But don't we all want to experience 10^26 m?

perviouslyiner ,

JWST has some pictures of it

Acters ,

Some are looking at 10^-15 for the answers too

I was expecting something a little more circular, tbh.

nickhammes ,

So a box means that the duration of time doesn't affect the lengths we can perceive, and the sizes don't affect the duration of time we can observe something.

A circle would imply that the amount of time we perceive something affects the scales we can perceive, and most weirdly of all, vice-versa.

The circle sounds like a really interesting—if mind-bending—science fiction book. If it was written well enough I'd give it a shot, even if I can't intuit what's going on.

lemmyman ,

I was thinking maybe donut-shaped

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks ,

Like the dot of the i of Jeremy Bearimy?

The logiest of scales

Droggelbecher ,

With only two numbers written down we technically don't know whether it's linear or log

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks ,

Couldn't one figure it out based on the box being signed slightly to the left of and above center?

Droggelbecher ,

I mean yeah, with prior knowledge of/ intuition for the data. Which in general shouldn't be presumed when presenting a graph. But I'm being nit picky

PrinceWith999Enemies ,

That’s not being nit picky at all in my opinion. The chart is objectively terrible. I’d be Reviewer Number 2 on this one.

tomi000 , (edited )

If its linear the Human Experience is located around -5*10^22s - -3*10^22s and 3*10^25m - 6*10^25m (whatever that would even be supposed to mean).

Doesnt seem right to me. But yes, technically youre right

B-b-but, surely things so small or far away could never impact us!? (/s :-P)
