Scale???
-
anyway you want it. Each pixel could be .5 meters or 50 centimeters or 10 kilometers.....or really even 50 liters since if you enclose it it would kind of be volume?

Well, disregarding save content entirely, the simulation is scaled arbitrarily depending on what is actually being simulated. It's a mixture probably differing in quite a few scales magnitudes.
Burning objects; fire simulation - I'd say is close to 1:1.
Explosions and shockwaves though appear to spread out as if observed from a distance
Photons traveling at C represented by a few pixels a second is a huge scale.
Also this depends considerably on frame rate - A fast frame rate reduces scale and vice versa. -
.5 Meters or 50 centimeters? So many options!
-
In the source it says one pixel's length is equivalent to an ell.

@benthecrazy
Hey, so now I can say "If I spark this ell of METL, this large blob of DESL ells combusts and these three ells of PSTN retract, causing an ell of SPRK to flow through these 100 ells of TTAN."? :P -
It'd be simplest to have every save creator make up their own mind as to what constitutes an unit of measure. Photons etcetera are arbitrarily fast since obviously having particles that disappear instantly from the screen would be worthless for the game.
