=Scalometer Showing Powers of Ten=

Below, the powers of ten from 10^-23 to 10^23, laid out in a sigmoid curve. The curve of the sigmoid depicts how behavior at greater or lesser powers of ten gradually but completely diverge from the behavior at the origin of the curve.

In this scalometer, the horizon past 10^23 and 10^-23 is depicted as one, shared region of zero knowledge.

=Overview= In mathematics, a power of ten is any of the integer powers of the number ten; in other words, ten multiplied by itself a certain number of times. By definition, the number one is a power (the zeroth power) of ten. The first few powers of ten are: 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000 ...

This mathematical sequence is sequence number A011557 in OEIS.
