You pay $170 for a physics textbook and what do you get? A profound revelation that small numbers are... wait for it... SMALL! 🤯 And large numbers are—*drumroll please*—LARGER than small ones! Revolutionary stuff!
The highlight of this academic highway robbery is learning that adding 23 to Avogadro's number (10²³) equals... exactly the same number! Who would've thought?! It's like throwing a teaspoon of water into the ocean and expecting the sea level to rise. Your tuition dollars at work, folks!
Meanwhile, your bank account is experiencing a very real subtraction that actually DOES change the final value. Funny how that works!
