Universal Zoom App: Explore the Scale of the Universe from Planck Length to Observable Edge
Summary
Universal Zoom is an educational app that allows users to explore the scale of the universe by zooming from the Planck length to the edge of the observable universe. It features over 270 objects presented to perfect scale, with the ability to compare any two objects side by side. The app aims to make the sense of scale accessible to everyone, not just scientists or students.
