About Universe in a Nutshell

The range of size in the universe, from the tiniest particles to the epic galaxies - we take you on a journey of size that lets you explore it all with a single swipe. How big is a planet, compared to a human? And how small is an atom really? You can’t fully wrap your head around the scope of things by just reading about them – so this app lets you experience them in comparison to get a feeling for their true scale. By simply swiping you can zoom in and out all the way from the world of fundamental particles up to the largest stars at the edge of the observable universe.

Seamless zooming between the scales of 10^-35 meters to 10^26 meters (no math required)

Amazing fun facts for various scale levels, like the smallest bacterium and the largest black hole

Feedback review

This app is great! It puts Kurzgesagt videos into a giant encyclopedia of random things in the universe, full of fun facts and good défendrions to know if you love science, and a great size comparison app. Something that it would be nice for this app to add to become even better is if you could choose 2 or more objects to directly put next to each other, in their own sort of “sandbox”, so that you could directly see the size difference. Something else that would be cool to add is some kind of definitions page, where it gives all of the definitions of different science words people might not know, like “Quark” or even “Quantum Physics”. Other than those things. The app was perfect! Nice job Kurzgesagt at making another beautiful science project.

Other universe, comparison apps, and this is the best one

I’d love that this has no ads now. Why would you add a stick figure? I don’t know why you are working with a complete but this is the best I could have on my iPad. Thank you for making this. I love this YouTuber.
