Observing stars with telescopes uses a magnitude scale. Human vision
has its’ own magnitude scale. Camera’s have their own magnitude
scale. Microscopes have their own magnitude scale. If we hope to
unify nature, big and small, shouldn’t the first step be, to come up
with a single magnitude system which applies to all of the above?
What say you?
