  • Hello there I'm Jake Roper brother, son, friend to no one.

  • If you've been a DONG fan for a while you may remember a website we showed called scaleofuniverse.com.

  • It's a very neat interactive experience that shows you just how tiny and just how

  • enormous things can get.

  • And for more tiny and enormous DONGs here are some things you can do online now guys.

  • Let me ask you this.

  • How many smoots tall are you?

  • I am 1.07 smoots.

  • WHOA JAKE WHAT EVEN IS A SMOOT.

  • Thanks for asking.

  • It's a hilarious measurement made up because of a man named Oliver R. Smoot.

  • His fraternity pledge was to measure the length of the Harvard Bridge using his body which

  • was 5 foot 7 inches or one smoot.

  • That would make the Empire State building 260.4 smoots.

  • This google mapped route from LA to New York City, well that's 2,645,044 smoots.

  • The distance to the moon is 225,920,955 smoots.

  • There are other strange measurements like a beard second, the length an average beard

  • grows in a second.

  • For example I am 365,760,000 beard seconds tall.

  • The CN tower is 110,642,400,000 beard seconds.

  • The great wall of China is 4,239,333,964,800,000 beard seconds.

  • This website allows you to covert smoots or beard seconds into other measurements and vice versa.

  • A beard second is 5 nanometers.

  • World Science Festival has a great video that helps you gauge how tiny a nanometer is.

  • There are other ridiculous measurements out there like one Warhol based off Andy Warhol's

  • statement thateveryone will be world-famous for fifteen minutes.”

  • So if you're famous for 1 kilowarhol you'd be famous for 15,000 minutes.

  • Good job.

  • But what is the smallest measurement?

  • Well let's go back to Scale of Universe.

  • We start with Planck Length a distance so tiny it's difficult to wrap your head around.

  • In fact it is the smallest distance between two things before they are considered to be

  • in the exact same location.

  • An atom is about 48,261,724,457 planck lengths.

  • Now let's se how long you have to zoom out just to get to the size of a carbon atom.

  • Again, it's difficult to comprehend things on this minute of a scale since we can't see them with our naked

  • eye or even a clothed eye which is I guess what glasses would be. So let's check out cell size and scale.

  • We'll start off at a carbon atom, the smallest thing this site shows.

  • Zooming out a bit we'll pass some viruses, a human egg, a sperm cell, a grain of salt,

  • a sesame seed and now a coffee bean.

  • Fun fact: a grain of salt is estimated to have around 1.2 quintillion

  • atoms.

  • That number looks like this by the way.

  • Now let's go back to scale of the universe.

  • Hey! hey hey hey! There we are!

  • Now let's keep zooming out and we'll see a T-rex which is big compared to people but

  • some dinosaurs sizes might surprise you.

  • This chart shows a 5 foot 6 tall guy as compared to a bunch of them.

  • What comes to mind when you hear velociraptor?

  • For me it's those scary guys from Jurassic Park that can open doors and they eat Muldoon. MULDOON!

  • But good news. They're roughly the size of a turkey. So what does that mean? Well you could kick them.

  • Really far. How far? I don't know. Probably into orbit. Into the sun. Potentially.

  • They also had feathers so if we saw one today we might just think it's a weird looking murderous bird.

  • On the other hand when dinosaurs aren't busy being the size of turkeys they can be

  • pretty behemoth.

  • The brachiosaurus is the largest known dinosaur and could eat vegetation as high as 30 feet

  • off the ground.

  • It is to this day the largest known land animal ever.

  • That's pretty big but the largest animal to have ever lived is actually alive today and do you know what it is?

  • Leave a comment down below. OH it's a

  • blue whale. Good work! You did it!

  • This site lets you get up close and personal with a blue whale.

  • Now blue whales it's hard to

  • It's hard to fathom just how big they are but let me give you some facts

  • that might blow your mind but they probably won't because your very smart and attractive.

  • They can way up to 181,437 kg.

  • That's close to half a million pounds, almost as much as I can bench, ladies.

  • Their tongues alone can weigh as much as an elephant.

  • AN ELEPHANT!!!!!

  • Their hearts unlike my black hole are around 204 kg, about the size of a car.

  • The daily requirement of an adult blue whale is around 1.5 million calories.

  • And now let's say you eat an average of 2,000 calories a day.

  • It would take you over 2 years to eat what one blue whale eats in a single day.

  • Challenge accepted.

  • Now let's go back to scale of the universe and zoom out a bit further.

  • Okay here we have Vatican City, the smallest country in the world.

  • Still bigger than myself, a blue whale, or a Planck Length but as far as countries go, it's

  • not very big.

  • Thetruesize.com is a really neat site that shows you well, the true size of countries.

  • When projecting a 3D globe onto a 2D map there's room for errors and distortion.

  • The most popular map projection that you're probably familiar with is the Mercator projection

  • and it distorts the sizes of countries close to the poles.

  • For example, Africa and Greenland look to be about roughly the same size but in reality Africa

  • is much much larger than Greenland. Sorry Greenland. You're still great and I love you.

  • We are given three countries for comparison: The United States, India, and China.

  • Look what happens when we drag the U.S. over Africa.

  • It pales in comparison.

  • But now drag it up here and it becomes very clear that Africa and Greenland are nowhere

  • near the same size.

  • Let's wrap that map back into a globe and here is our beautiful Earth.

  • It seems big and beautiful because for the most part it's all we've ever experienced firsthand so

  • it's hard to conceptualize just how tiny it really is in the scope of the universe.

  • But let's at least try shall we.

  • So this is Earth, larger than Mars, Mercury and Venus but zoom out a hohoho holy moly!

  • it looks pretty small.

  • Now let's say you wanted to drive around the whole Earth because why not.

  • It would be close to a 40233.6 kilometer trek so all you have to do is not sleep or go to

  • the bathroom or go insane from claustrophobia...

  • I mean I guess you could sleep because we're not timing you on how fast you could go

  • Anyways if you wanted to do it in one go you'd have to keep a pace of 80.47 kph and you should

  • get there in a short 21 days with no breaks.

  • But it would take you over 227 days of nonstop driving to get around all of Jupiter at the same speed.

  • Other than a lack of patience I see no reason why you couldn't do it.

  • And remember my dear child. No matter how many Warhols you are famous for, no matter how many smoots you are

  • stay humble because in the grand scheme of things you are pretty tiny. Which is a beautiful thing!

  • And as al...no.

  • You know what I'm not gonna say and as always thanks for watching just yet. Oh no I just did it.
