What’s, like, the biggest thing on Earth? Well, Godzilla is big. And it’s a scientific fact that his femur is 33 meters long. Bucket wheel excavators used in mining operations, those are crazy giant too. The biggest man-made building (by volume) is Boeing’s plant in Everett, Washington. That’s totally ginormous. Let’s call it the biggest structure on Earth. (Or you can go with the Great Wall of China for the longest, or some skyscraper in Dubai for the tallest. Up to you.) But compared to Minecraft, those things are…well, they’re piddly.
How about planets. Planets are big, like really huge, right? Take Earth. 500 million square kilometers, which is a lot. Until you learn that Minecraft has a surface area of Four. Billion. Square. Kilometers.
Which kind of makes the biggest thing on Earth a thing that doesn’t even really exist. To find out how huge Minecraft is, in terms of users, money, population, and sheer (digital) size, watch the video.
