    Hahahahahaha. I get this joke. It is very funny. You should probably explain it for the other people who are not so smart as me who is smart.

      On a normal scale, the ticks go 1…2…3…4…

      on a log scale, ticks go 1…10…100…1000…

      Sound and frequency, weirdly, is always in a log scale, you just dont notice it

      Time however, usually shouldnt be 😂
