About Pointless

Pointless is a collection of free, interactive cosmic calculators that answer questions nobody really needs answered — but everyone secretly wants to know. What would you weigh on Jupiter? How long does light take to reach Mars? How high could you jump on the Moon? If the Sun were a basketball, where would Earth be?

Every calculator uses real physics and accurate astronomical data sourced from NASA, ESA, and peer-reviewed astrophysics research. The questions are stupid. The math is not. All calculations run entirely in your browser — no signups, no tracking, no data collection.

This site was built for people who stare up at the sky and think "wait, what?" — and then want to do the math. Whether you're a student, a space enthusiast, or just killing time, these tools are designed to make the universe's scale feel personal. Enter your weight, your age, your sprint time — and see what the cosmos does to you.

New useless tools are added regularly. Bookmark it, share it, or just waste a few minutes staring at the universe's absurd scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

What would I weigh on Jupiter?

Jupiter's gravity is 2.5x Earth's. If you weigh 70kg on Earth, you'd weigh 176kg on Jupiter. On a neutron star, you'd weigh about 140 billion kg. Try our weight on other worlds calculator.

How long does light take to reach Mars?

When Mars is closest to Earth, light takes about 3 minutes. When it's on the other side of the Sun, about 22 minutes. Use our light travel time calculator.

What is the Drake Equation?

It estimates how many intelligent civilizations exist in the Milky Way. Our Drake Equation calculator lets you play with the variables.

How much does a teaspoon of neutron star material weigh?

About 4 billion tons — roughly 2,700 blue whales or 14 times the weight of every human combined. Use our neutron star spoon calculator.

Are these calculators free?

Yes. All tools on Pointless are completely free, no signups, no subscriptions. All calculations run in your browser — your data never leaves your device.
