(Paraphrased quote) 'As a comparison, the most powerful microquasar in our galaxy is about 10 times less powerful than this one.'
I have never understood how something, other than distance, can be more than one time less. One time is 100% correct?
How can, let's say a brick, be ten times smaller in size than another brick?
I don't get it, but i read these types of statements all the time.
Help.
