"Neal Agarwal published another gift to the internet with Size of Life. It shows the scale of living things, starting with DNA, to hemoglobin, and keeps going up. The scientific illustrations are hand-drawn (without AI) by Julius Csotonyi. Sound & FX by Aleix Ramon and cello music by Iratxe Ibaibarriaga calm the mind and encourage a slow observation of things, but also grow in complexity and weight with the scale. It kind of feels like a meditation exercise."

Size of Life visualizes the scale of living things beginning at DNA and hemoglobin and continuing upward across larger biological structures. Julius Csotonyi produced hand-drawn scientific illustrations without AI. Aleix Ramon provided sound and FX while Iratxe Ibaibarriaga contributed cello music that calms the mind and encourages slow observation. The audio elements increase in complexity and weight as the scale grows, reinforcing a gradual, meditative pace. The presentation invites careful, slow viewing and can be experienced alongside other scale explorations such as shrinking to an atom, speed-of-light visualizations, and Powers of Ten.
