The Measure of Things Press Mentions
“Goalline technology showed the ball was 11.7mm away from crossing the line. Or about the width of a headache tablet. Or nine grains of sand...”
“...Plaza de España, a semicircular, architectural extravaganza about the size of 10 American football fields...”
“Whatever it is, it's big... roughly 6 billion Empire State Buildings — or five times more than the Big Island of Hawaii.”
“...a boat that’s nearly as long as the Arc de Triomphe is tall and features a Jacuzzi, gym and movie theater.”
“They estimate the stock of empty houses nationwide at about 20 billion square feet, about two-and-a-half times the area of New York City.”
“For reference, that's about a little more than how much a typical hamster weighs.”
“It would take 970 acre feet of water to fill the Astrodome in Houston, according to the Measure of Things...”
“To put that into some kind of perspective, it is the weight equivalent to 340 Giza pyramids, 80,000 Statues of Liberty or 12 million blue whales.”
