What if everybody in the entire world lived in just one building? How big would the building have to be to be able to fit all 7.4 billion of us? Surprisingly, not that big. That red cube up above would do the trick and it only takes up a few blocks of Manhattan.
Can the world's entire population fit in a building!?
One 'infotainment' channel on YouTube took the initiative to answer this 'pressing' question.
According to a recent video posted by RealLifeLore, the world's 7.48 billion people can be fit in a cube shaped building nearly twice the size of the world's tallest tower - Dubai's Burj Khalifa.
The giant cube would be 4,416 feet tall (a little over 0.8 miles on every side) but the Burj Khalifa measures up at 2,723 feet so it's sort of in spitting distance. And, yeah, everyone would only have a coffin's amount of space.
But that's just a silly fun thought exercise. An even more silly and fun thought exercise is thinking about the number of people we can cram in the structures we've already built, or actually had plans to build.
THEY EVEN LIST SOME EXISTING MEGA STRUCTURES THAT CAN FIT MILLIONS:
Great Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia - 4,000,000 people Tesla Gigafactory - 2,650,000 Crystal Island in Moscow, Russia - 12,500,000 people Boeing Everett Factory in Washington -40,831,000
