Never use polynomial fitting if you dont need to.

I get the feeling that you know a lot about black holes and very little about how stereoscopic images work.

Thats what google report when you search "diameter of hydrogen atom in nanometers"

edit: but googles an idiot

(I actually used 10 nm for width of Hydrogen, much larger than your unit)

Diameter os UY scuti: 2.377 billion km

Diameter of sun: 1.393 million km

Ratio: 1706:1

Diameter of hydrogen atom: 6.479 x 10^-14 nautical miles.

Diameter of scaled UY scuti: 17.23 micro meters. About one third the width of a sheet of paper

You wouldnt, though. A ship that could accelerate constantly at 1g could cross the galaxy in a single human lifetime

Is going to the moon the only thing you would consider an accomplishment?

Reply to comment by PaulblankPF in CGI-powered ads are coming to Prime Video and Peacock. Both companies demonstrated new ad formats for Virtual Product Placements (VPP), a post-production technique to insert a brand into a show or movie after it's been filmed. by cartoonzi

They spend 100s of billions every year on research determining how much they advertise vs rate of return. So I agree that its getting out of hand, but it must still be working.
