A teaspoon of water weighs exactly five grams. Inside those five grams are roughly 5 followed by 23 zeros in atoms. The entire Atlantic Ocean holds 310 million cubic kilometres of water. Scoop that entire ocean out, and you get about 6 followed by 22 zeros in teaspoons. Match them up, and the tiny piece of cutlery in your kitchen easily wins. It completely breaks how human brains visualise scale. The microscopic world is unfathomably vast.
