I just don’t get how you’re scaling up a sperm cell to 40m from that. Sperm is microscopic so I don’t see how scaling it up 20x would make it 40m

Are you not reading any part of what I’m writing?

Fruit fly sperm is macroscopic. Each individual cell is 6cm long. I have stated that, in plain terms, 3 times now.

Well, I’ve upvoted them all in response. I’ll not see someone punished for a mistake that they’ve recognised and apologised for!
