Transcript for Charting The Largest

Have you seen this video

of the 2nd largest aquarium in the world?

It's been popular on many different sites

It's beautifully framed and pretty neat, especially in high resolution.

It's the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa , Japan.

As the 2nd largest in the world, I wondered:

what's the largest?

The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta

claims itself as the worlds largest

with 8 million gallons of water.

The aquarium contains the largest collection of

giant grouper

potato grouper

Humphead Wrasse

Tarpon

Giant Trevally

Batfish, Sawfish

Blacktiped Reef Sharks

and Wobbegong Sharks

ever in an aquarium.

Also large:

Is Godzilla.

But, not really.

As you can see

this monster size comparisons chart

gets right to the difference in size

of monsters in the movies.

From Cloverfield it was the biggest monster

with the little budget

that has had the largest size.

On that chart that is.

Clearly, the sand worms from Dune were excluded.

Similar looks to colossal terrestrial Annelid

and Sea Lampry.

The Shai-Hulud work their way through the Arrakis desert

worshiped for being godlike.

But they will eat you.

But forget this chart.

These beasts are regularly a 1/4 of a mile long.

One sighting has reported a worm 1/2 a league in length.

That's 2,778 meters.

Almost 2 miles.

I'm just saying.

People have been reporting that the ISS

which is about a football field long

is spectacular to see these days from Earth.

And for the next several days

for those who have missed it

you can refer to this chart.

I know what you're thinking:

How does the ISS size up?

At 107.4 meters long

the ISS is the largest space station ever built.

That we know of.

A little smaller than the USS Enterprise

the Death Star and the New Molly

a bio-engeneered, Texas-sized, wingless ship

which can destroy entire planets with a single blast.

I'm just saying.

Largest thing?

A black hole 100,000 tredagrams big

equivalent to about 50 billion suns.

Say some.... say others

Seen today from 12 billion years ago

a giant blob structure

200 billion light years wide.

Likely, a cluster of galaxies.

But is this there really such a thing

as just any one thing?

Or is it all just an illusion?

And does it matter?

No.
