1 pointsby touchpadderover 4 years ago
People are kind-of bacteria of this planet, like bacteria on an apple so I was wondering what are the proportions human:planet &#x2F; bacterium:apple<p>Apple diameter: 10cm<p>Bacterium diameter: 1 micron = 0.0001 cm<p>Apple:bacterium size ratio 10 &#x2F; 0.0001 = 100,000<p>Earth diameter: 12,742km<p>Human diameter: 1.7m<p>Earth:human size ratio 12,742,000 &#x2F; 1.7 = 7,495,294<p>Earth:Human to Apple:Bacterium ratio difference 7,495,294 &#x2F; 100,000 ~ 75<p>A bacterium is 75x more significant to an apple than a human to the planet. 10cm is a large apple and 1um is a small bacterium.<p>If you think about surface difference it&#x27;s a significantly larger difference
