When I was a kid (long ago!), someone wrote to DC Comics and asked how Superman can fly faster than the speed of light, when Einstein's theory of relativity says that's impossible. I've never forgotten the editor's reply: "Professor Einstein's theory is only a theory. Superman's speed is a fact." 😅

[@lensofthenorth42]

And that tells you that said editor doesn't understand the concept of a "theory" in science.

[@LisaAnn777]

Yeah atomic theory is just a theory too so I guess nuclear weapons aren't proven yet.

[@Outstralian]

Give me the biggest sandworm you have.
No... that's too big

[@IBongMaster395I]

Just discovered your channel and have basically binge watched your whole catalogue, please continue the great work

[@wildworld6264]

Thank you so much

Dune is such a goddamn terrific franchise.
And the sand worms are the perfect, larger than life, poster child for it.
Originally what drew me into the story…the idea of mile long leviathans that burrow under the ground, and cause the entire local region to shake with their presence.

[@Sharktoz]

See now you got me wanting to go read and watch the Dune movies. How dare you make me interested in a good series. More please.

[@JoaoMariaNunes]

Big enough to eat an entire spice mine crwler

[@bartrainer3916]

Nothing compares to my mother-in-law.

[@MrSirDudeGuy]

I have not seen Dune 2 yet! I have to bail on this one. I don’t want any spoilers.

[@KingMoon110]

Also the bigger the organism is, the bigger the internal body heat is (which is why the biggest animals live in the water) sandworms body temperature would be in the hundreds of degrees.

[@vietcuonguonginh3963]

i really want a 1 hour video about how big things get

[@JustinCase807]

This is like a spoof to your normal 'how big' videos
😆
