Why is it hard for us to conceptualize really big numbers / distances. (1 billion / 1 lightyear)
In: Other
How is it hard to conceptualize either of those numbers. We conceptualize them hence why they are a real thing. 1 billions is 1 billion people. 1/7(ish) of the global population. ! light year is conceptualized in astronomy/astrophysics, hence why we know of DSO that are MILLIONS sometimes BILLIONS of light years away, let alone a single light year. Thats only 6,000,000,000,000 miles……thats nothing in space distances. Thats like a baby step…
