Good video I found recently where a biomedical scientists answers questions from the internet.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I watched the whole thing.

The Dr. mentions "order of magnitude" a few times. I learned what orders of magnitude are by reading Robert Heinlein in my teens.

In a ratio scale based on powers of ten, the order of magnitude is a measure of the nearness of two figures. Two numbers are "within an order of magnitude" of each other if their ratio is between 1/10 and 10. In other words, the two numbers are within about a factor of 10 of each other.
For example, 1 and 1.02 are within an order of magnitude. So are 1 and 2, 1 and 9, or 1 and 0.2. However, 1 and 15 are not within an order of magnitude, since their ratio is 15/1 = 15 > 10. The reciprocal ratio, 1/15, is less than 0.1, so the same result is obtained.


All the truth and facts the doctor packed into that short video was a bit of shock to my system. I'm not accustomed to such things in the age of MAGA.
