Partially in response to a question on the forums. This is explaining why TPT doesn't have a simple scale, such as 1 pixel = 1 centimetre
notuseful accurate uselightspeed size supremeruler metric relative measuring science scale

    Hm, that's an interesting thought actually. The physical size of the computer parts storing the game...

    Anyways, good save!

    You could measure the size of TPT as how much real-life space it takes up (how much space the servers and such take up on Earth).

    Okay, I know that is how much space it takes up... on my hard drive.

    @powderPhone6s sound just as it is IRL, change in pressure. unfourtunately TPT doesn't handle oscillations very well so you can't have a proper "sound wave" but a shockwave will propogate through any medium at exactly the speed of sound through that medium, so that's how we know what the speed of sound in TPT is.

    Sound=movement of pressure
