They ' ll never be allowed to get even close to collapse . They ' ll be bailed out well in advance should they ever need it . I think this whole deutsche bank scaremongering is kinda ridiculous tbh <| sep |> Hi there . Did you by any chance receive a reply from Georgia Tech ? I ' m in the exact same situation . <| sep |> I ' m engaged and getting married in three months <| sep |> Of course you should be critical of depictions in the media . They ' re trying to tell a good story , they ' re not necessarily scientifically accurate . However , there ' s a bit of truth in this thanks to the Cube Square law . Say you take a human and you make him twice as big , so if he was 2 meters tall , now he ' s 4 meters . His total surface area increases by the square of the scale factor . So he now has 4 times the surface area . Since muscle strength depends on the cross section this means our guy is 4 times as strong . However , his volume increases by the cube of the scale factor . So he is 8 times as voluminous . Since his density didn ' t change , this means he is 8 times as heavy . So our guy got 8 times heavier , but only 4 times as strong . So it became much harder for him to move his arms and legs . The poor guy would feel as if his arms suddenly got twice as heavy , so he will swing his arms much slower . Then there ' s the additional effect of acceleration . Say I wave my hand once a second . That ' ll look quite normal to you . Now say I become 10 times as big . This means I have to wave my hand 10 times further for it to look normal to you . 10 times the distance means 10 times the acceleration , which means I would have to use 10 times as much force . When a giant monster stumbles through Tokyo he ' s actually moving lightning fast , it just seems slow because he is so big .
