Everyone knows data is not beautiful when you visualize scalars using area instead of length.
I’m pretty sure it’s by volume, which is even worse
I like it. you can visualize sizes with 3 orders of magnitude between them without one being microscopic.
What makes this graph shitty, is that the spheres don't look very 3D.
I respectfully disagree. If you want to compare orders of magnitude, you should use a logarithmic scale.
Yeah these are long-ago settled, 101-level, wikipedia-level data visualization principles.
Wait like 3D volume? 😬 I was looking at it completely wrong
