@neiltyson larger? -
@elisabethepps@neiltyson yep. 100 billion times larger than the smallest measurable distance is still impossibly small. -
@phyridean@eshru@neiltyson I understand the math, but not "don't worry." seems like "smaller" wld be far more reassuring in this scenario. -
@elisabethepps@phyridean@eshru@neiltyson I think it was meant w/ mild sarcasm "... you are still moving the earth, mighty athlete." -
@tilted_slippers@phyridean@eshru@neiltyson ahhhhh I rly like your reading. Makes sense, and fits Neil's personality. Thank you Elizabeth!
