It's more than one order magnitude, less than two. So, plural!

It's more than one order magnitude, less than two. So, plural!
- eesmith 3y agoIt's less than one order of magnitude. 4 million vs. 24 million is a factor of 6, not 10.
- pproe 3y agoI guess in that case you could still say its 0.6 orderS of magnitude... So not entirely false.
- eesmith 3y agoIt still wouldn't be 'more than one order magnitude'.
- shawabawa3 3y agoorders of magnitude don't have to be base 10 It's 2.5 more base 2 orders of magnitude
- kzrdude 3y ago4 vs 24 million is "about an order of magnitude", if you ask physics. We don't need to be accurate with that expression. And Log_10 (24/4) ≃ 0.78, it's not far away from 1.
- eesmith 3y agoUmm, I'm pointing out that 7e can't correctly say 'more than one order magnitude, less than two. So, plural!' Note the "more" and "plural". Even physicists say that one is not plural.
