Discover how small, steady steps can solve big problems—like guiding a lost sailor back to civilization

Loved it! I didn't quite get the significance at first, but then it dawned on me when I got to the visual acuity part.

The problem of measuring smaller and smaller things is one of the constant and most important problems in science.

One thing I missed, is there a key formula that is worth remembering here?

Glad you went over my post. It was a great experience watching someone go through it on a live-stream.

Well the formula is mentioned but still I added an explicit section with the formula here: https://animeshchouhan.com/posts/measuring-distance/#approxi...

Thank you for your feedback!
