A quiz with questions from quantum to cosmos
You occupy a very special place in the universe. Or, perhaps more accurately, a very special size.
Things in this universe can be mind-bogglingly large, like galactic clusters, or unimaginably small, like quarks. You -- all of us -- inhabit a peculiar place in this grand scale of sizes: smack-dab in the middle. The fundamental unit of life, the living cell, sits at the geometric mean between the biggest things in the universe and the teensiest.
From this privileged position in the middle, how well do you know all things great and small?
This quiz will test your knowledge, and the answers will show you where you sit on our new Quantum to Cosmos interactive scale of the universe.

About PI
Perimeter Institute is the world’s largest research hub devoted to theoretical physics. The independent Institute was founded in 1999 to foster breakthroughs in the fundamental understanding of our universe, from the smallest particles to the entire cosmos. Research at Perimeter is motivated by the understanding that fundamental science advances human knowledge and catalyzes innovation, and that today’s theoretical physics is tomorrow’s technology. Located in the Region of Waterloo, the not-for-profit Institute is a unique public-private endeavour, including the Governments of Ontario and Canada, that enables cutting-edge research, trains the next generation of scientific pioneers, and shares the power of physics through award-winning educational outreach and public engagement.
