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...”
“Forty tons may seem like a lot – it’s equivalent in weight to about 24 cars, or 6.5 fully grown elephants.”
“2,700 liters of water... That roughly works out at 17 bathtubs.”
“...a boat that’s nearly as long as the Arc de Triomphe is tall and features a Jacuzzi, gym and movie theater.”
“For reference, that's about a little more than how much a typical hamster weighs.”
“Whatever it is, it's big... roughly 6 billion Empire State Buildings — or five times more than the Big Island of Hawaii.”
“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.”
