^Analogies. Reminds me of when drilling in ANWR was all the rage. In an effort (vain?) to make numbers so enormous relatable- daily U.S. oil consumption for example- I calculated the volume of the biggest building in town and how fast it would go from full to the roof to empty were it filled with oil and drained at the rate we consume it. I also calc'd it out for Olympic sized swimming pools.
