Answer 1

I’m sure your question is already well answered, but I saw this question before and was also intrigued. One of the top comments put it like this: let’s say it takes you one second to take a 1-foot step. Now scale that by 100. It’ll take 100 seconds to take a 100-foot step. That helped it make sense in my head.
