    Summary

    Description
    English: A logarithm plot of stars, planets and other celestial objects by diameter and mass, as well as how they evolve and decay into each other.

    The Triangle of Everything is a log-log chart of everything that has existed since the Big Bang or could ever have existed. All existing objects are bound by three lines: the Compton Limit, the Schwarzschild radius, and the Hubble radius. The vertices are the Big Bang on the left, the Observable universe on the top right, and the heat death of the universe / true vacuum / zero-point energy universe on the bottom right.

    Mass and energy are converted through Einstein's formula, while energy and temperature are correlated through Boltzmann's constant. Since mass is energy, this chart also represents temperature, and since the Big Bang is essentially a rapid drop in density, it also charts events since the beginning of time. All Planck Units are represented on the chart.
