- ShoGunX900, on 01/30/2008, -3/+309Good 'ol metric system
- Remccs, on 01/30/2008, -22/+269kinda hard to use, but amazing nonetheless
dugg - archistudent, on 01/30/2008, -9/+229I feel so small...
- Hipple, on 01/30/2008, -1/+188Protip: Use your scroll wheel
- sgtbutterscotch, on 01/30/2008, -2/+169Funny, I feel really big...
- DrywallThief, on 01/30/2008, -22/+180Wow. Absolutely amazing. One of the best things on digg I've seen in a while. I need to make another account to digg it again.

- GuacamoleSan, on 01/30/2008, -11/+91The music is awesome....
- EserVerx, on 01/30/2008, -1/+67I'm holding this app accountable if i don't finish my rough draft paper for tomorrow.
- inactive, on 01/30/2008, -4/+67Where's XENU?
- AndrewDB, on 01/30/2008, -0/+61It has to do with space, but, I think it pertains to this as well;
"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space." -Douglas Adams - christoast, on 09/04/2008, -5/+65this statement will end with 3 small dots...
- phatvolvo, on 01/30/2008, -2/+62back when pluto was a planet!
- crashcarstar, on 01/30/2008, -0/+42(Thanks, I wouldn't have known this was cool if you hadn't put it in parentheses)
- zephc, on 01/30/2008, -2/+40If anyone likes and wants the music loop: http://www.nikon.co.jp/main/eng/feelnikon/discover ...
- HHP2K, on 01/30/2008, -1/+36Yup, this was on digg a while back. It's still super interesting though. Kudos to Nikon.
- ElbertF, on 01/30/2008, -1/+28I feel so average. :(
- FUR10N, on 01/30/2008, -11/+37where's the macbook air?
- mas6700, on 01/30/2008, -4/+30This brings to mind an interesting question about one theory of parallel universes. It goes something like this: So far we have observed that all matter (stars, planets, nebula, etc...) appear to be evenly distributed throughout space as far as we can tell based on our furtherest observation of the known universe. As a result of this observation it could be postulated that this is a specific property of the universe; i.e all of *space* must have matter evenly distributed within it. If this is correct then assuming that there is a finite amount of *matter* in the known universe, (which essentially has to be the case since for there to be an infinite amount of matter there would have to be an infinite amount of energy during the big bang that turned into matter (m = e/c^2) and although the amount energy of the big bang was huge, it wasn't infinite), then what happens when we reach the edge of the evenly distributed, finite amount of matter? If we make the assumption that space is infinite while we know that the amount of matter in space isn't infinite but still has to be evenly distributed in all of (infinite) space, then the "only" solution is that matter must start repeating once you get to the "edge" of our known universe of matter. This "edge" of our universe should be about 10^(10^100) meters away at which point the "universe" starts repeating essentially starting the beginning of a "parallel" universe with a duplicate of everything (all matter) in our "local" universe.
I wonder how far you'd have to go to find a universe where the US wasn't run by a bunch of schmucks for the past seven years.... - plosfas, on 01/30/2008, -0/+25OK what? Are you suggesting that there are not metric tape measures?
- DarkDx, on 01/30/2008, -0/+22I love you.
- DarkDx, on 01/30/2008, -2/+24"A realm exists wich is as yet not measurable by present-day technology."
- sonnybobiche, on 01/30/2008, -2/+23That's because the electron is typically defined as being a point particle. No radius. No size.
- Herv3, on 01/30/2008, -1/+22"The Solar System consist of a central star and nine planets"
See, Pluto is a planet! - SkippyDoorknob, on 01/30/2008, -0/+21You realize that if a millimeters is too big, you can just count up more than one of them.
- alex7575, on 01/30/2008, -0/+20Ah, I see you made it all the way to the fentem scale
- Whiteknight117, on 01/30/2008, -2/+21Why does it keep scrolling to the left? It's really annoying.
- inactive, on 01/30/2008, -0/+18@barnett
There's this awesome thing called "decimals" and it works just fine in place of fractions. - phoenixm4, on 01/30/2008, -0/+18That's really cool. Gives you a better perspective of everything.
- yunus, on 01/30/2008, -1/+18Why the hell when I zoom out a small amount does it continue to zoom in?
- Scynet, on 01/30/2008, -2/+19Dugg and favourited, understanding even the basics of that scale will help you grasp a lot of the modern science and place things in concept.
- 2names1log, on 01/30/2008, -1/+16A Royale with cheese! You know why they call it that?
- nepawoods, on 01/30/2008, -0/+15Active Desktop - the answer to the question "WTF happened to my machine???"
- AionGlobalcom, on 01/30/2008, -0/+15A lot of work on this flash. Thumbs up
- Scynet, on 01/30/2008, -0/+15File - save page. Open with something that can play swf files, I use media player classic. You have to get the music separately.
- lgc90, on 01/30/2008, -4/+18ellipsis
- nshady, on 01/30/2008, -1/+15It says © 2005 in the bottom right hand corner, so obviously this was created before Pluto was made a dwarf planet.
- CanTheSpam, on 01/30/2008, -0/+14Right in between the flying reindeer and Jesus.
- epmc, on 01/30/2008, -1/+14@barnett
Yeah, 1/16 or 1/64 is much simpler than 1/10 or 1/100.
Ever heard of a decimetre (I'll assume not), it's larger then a centimetre, yet smaller than a metre. Amazing, no? - GambitL, on 01/30/2008, -4/+17This is a pretty amazing and educational flash program... anybody know where you can download it though?
- christoast, on 09/04/2008, -1/+14;_;
- DarkDx, on 01/30/2008, -0/+13Zing!
- piesforyou, on 01/30/2008, -3/+15I agree, this is the best thing I've seen on digg since... the last time this was on here!
- nepawoods, on 01/30/2008, -1/+13Extremely average?
- OneLess, on 01/30/2008, -1/+13You forgot Alaska.
"So here's to the only four countries who have had the stones, as measured in stones, not to give in to the metric system. The four left are: the United States, Liberia, Myanmar, and Alaska. Who's the idiot now?" -Stephen Colbert - blast_flame, on 01/30/2008, -0/+12Speak for yourself. I plan to live forever.
- blast_flame, on 01/30/2008, -0/+11See that little line of numbers down the bottom? You can use that to zoom in faster.
- moskaudancer, on 01/30/2008, -1/+12Actually, in most parts of the world, it's called a .1134 kilogrammer with cheese.
