Are there more Doors or Wheels in existence?

[King Narwhal]

Doors and wheels are extremely common, but which one do you think there are more of?

I lean towards wheels personally.

Isn't anything that can block an opening a door?
Almost everything is a door.

If transistor gates count as doors, it isn't even a fair fight.

Almost everything is a door.

But then consider the sheer number of wheels used in industrial machinery, if we're being broad in our definitions.

Surely this would ramp up the number of wheels, no?

True, I hadn't considered those as they aren't physically doors though have a similar functionality in a way.

I can be a door, if needed.

Definitely wheels.

Sliding doors have enough wheels in them to outnumber doors by themselves.

Though, as noted above, if we count transistors, which I can't imagine why we would, then no, doors absolutely stomp. Transistors outnumber wheels probably billions to one.

Wheels. So many things with wheels and no doors.

Atoms can be seen as a type of wheel or a set of wheels with every subatomic particle circling around a central point. That makes a wheel the basis for everything... sort of.

If LEGO produces most tires in the world then they produce the most wheels in the world. The Danes keep on winning.

Electrons don't actually orbit the nucleus of an atom; they form a 'probability cloud' around it. There is momentum, but no motion. The electrons exist in a state of superposition, where they are basically everywhere at once.

I hate that they still use the 'billiard ball' model to teach atomic physics. It's so wrong.

Momentum but no motion... How does that work?

Wheels.

There are even doors with wheels on them, like sliders, vault doors, and pocket doors.

Can't think of any wheels with doors on them.

Now I want to see a door vs wheel chart over time. At some point I would imagine wheels overtook doors to lead the race.

Standing in front of the TV and blocking it as a kid.

Dad: "You make a better door than a window."

Where to start? 6000 BC?

No 10,000 BC. I was to see doors start from zero too.
