Scientific Methodology
How we normalize data, perform physical derivations, and calculate comparisons.
1. Comparison Selection Algorithm
Every quantity is matched against curated reference benchmarks. Candidates are evaluated to find ratios between 0.5 and 20, prioritizing intuitive integer multiples (1, 2, 5, 10) and culturally recognizable objects ranked in reference data.
2. No False Precision Rule
All derived estimates and comparisons strictly cap precision at three significant figures. An asteroid estimated at 141.403 meters is presented as 141 meters; a calculated distance of 248,192 km is formatted as 248,000 km.
