You could calculate it more accurately, of course. But the relationship between earth’s circumference and the distance to the moon is roughly 1:10, purely by coincidence, making it easy to calculate an estimate when scaling earth up or down.

I looked up the circumference of a football and it said about 70cm. As the moon is about 10 times the circumference of the earth away, that’d put the moon at 7m away.


I want to travel to China about as much as I want to travel to the US or Russia.


Australia is wider than the moon. If earth had the size of a football (soccer), the moon would be about 7m away. If the sun had a diameter of 1m, Neptune would be 5.6km away. In that scale model, the next star would be placed in the outer planets. Space is insanely big.


Ja, das sehe ich auch so. Alles, was die Raserei einschränkt, wird ja hier als unverschämte Gängelei verstanden. Ich fahre seit über 30 Jahren und wurde in der Zeit ein einziges Mal geblitzt. Im Ausland, mit 87 wo 80 erlaubt waren. Hat dann auch gleich 50 Euro gekostet.


I absolutely agree with that. Most of his movies aren’t that bad.


Oh, man. I have a list. Although it’s been years since I watched it, so my memory is hazy.
That whole thing where he just stumbles upon his old friend who is coincidentally in charge of this space project and just decides he is the right guy for the job? Fucking dumb writing.
Anne Hathaway’s character and her speech about love? God-awful writing.
All those weird planets they are visiting, just to show off some weird space shit? Stupid writing.
The insanely idiotic decisions these supposedly highly trained and intelligent characters make again and again? My god, what idiotic writing.
Him flying into a black hole, discovering the fuckth dimension is fucking love and pushing some books off his bookshelf back in time? I would have walked out at that point, but I watched it at home.
And that’s only the shit that pissed me off so much I can still remember it all these years later.
Nolan makes movies that are visually amazing and because he can try out weird stuff they are sometimes great, but acting like he’s the best thing ever who can do no bad is ignoring all the really, really stupid stuff he does in his movies and I think Interstellar is the worst, with Tenet being a close second.


Christopher Nolan is quite overrated. Interstellar was shockingly dumb. I think he has gotten to a point where either not enough people are honest with him when his ideas are really stupid or his ego simply doesn’t allow him to listen to people.

It does? Must’ve been 30 years since I last saw it. Might be time for a re-watch.
I’ve seen estimates that say trans people make up about 1% of the population. So adjusting to that, they’d need to kill about 25 more people. Also, the numbers are 3 years old. Did they catch up?
Dawkins expressed the same sentiment as: we are all basically atheists, some just go one god further.
