Don’t remember where I first heard this, but imagine you’ve got 21 million liters of water and all the sand in the Sahara to pay for it. How much sand would be enough for one liter of water? 100,000 sands? 10 million? 100 million? 1 billion? Not even close!

Excellent analogy!

That’s 8.4 Olympic sized swimming pools of water

That’s exactly my point

I wasn’t making any point. Just stating a fact for visual. The analogy is awesome.

Good analogy ✌️

Is the sand a white elephant in this case?

Takes time before everybody gets hot enough to realize. 😅🤷🏼‍♂️

1 litre ÷ 100 million = 0.00000001 litres, or 10 nanolitres.

Might have to change the scale so it can be comprehended
