*** For those who usually do not see this number, a Petabyte is 1000 Terabytes, which means that file is equal to 4,500,000,000,000 bytes.
*** The experimental drone music band [[Bull of Heaven]] also made an 85 kb zip bomb that expands to 1.3 ''zetabytes''(1.3 billion TB). The contained "song" is a series of duplicate files whose length adds up to over 10 billion years.
** Finally, to top even ''that'', we have things like [
* The Tivoli amusement park in Copenhagen, Denmark is as close as it gets to this trope in the real life. It is an magnificent illusion of the park being far larger than the city block where it is in.
* In General Relativity, due to the curvature of space-time, the radius and volume of massive objects are larger than one would expect given their circumference.<ref>E.g. if you measured the radius of the by drilling a hole to the centre of the Earth and extending a long tape measure down, you would get a number that is about 2mm larger than the number you would get from forming the tape measure into a circle around the Earth and dividing that circumference by 2*pi</ref> For the Sun, this means the radius of the sun is about 2 km larger, and the volume of the sun is about 0.0006% larger than it would be if it were massless. That means a spherical shell built around the Sun would be very slightly bigger in the inside than an identical shell built in empty space would be''[http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/relativity/stcurve.pdf (source)]''.
