Our universe is large.

And also very small.

Two Models
[1] The units of the universe could be presented in a linear way:

⬅️ Small on the left
Large on the right ➡️
⏪ ⏩
(And everything else in between)
But the more I think about it...
[2] A circular graphic might be better:

From very large back to small again.
In some kind of loop?
I'm curious:
How do you make sense of these scales?
To ponder
- What are the smallest and largest things?
- What are our personal "units of measurement" by which we understand our world(s) and lives?
- Are there better ways to model this?
