If you have some time to spare, check out these videos of light speed in real time. Yep, there is a 5.5 hr video of light moving through the solar system.

Like it.
Strange how the time taken to circle the Earth (1/7 s) is of the same order of magnitude as the time to reach Mars (3 min).

that’s what happens when you use base 60 or maybe 1260 that’s all in order

Wait what? How is 1/7 seconds the same order of magnitude as 3 minutes?

they’re both nearly infinitesimal

Because I can easily count changes that take 1/7 sec and I can easily wait 3 min.

Scratches head.
Seems pseudo-something or other.

That’s not what order of magnitude means.
3 minutes is 1260 times greater than 1/7 seconds.

Probably using the engineering OoM rather than the scientific.

Even with the EOoM, I really think its stretching things a little.
