how massive the largest known black hole in the universe is, via the standardized Toyota Corolla scale.

That number above is apparently equivalent to 40 billion sun’s. Feel free to double check the math. 40 billion sun’s worth of matter, built up over billions of years... With an impossible-to-know number of stars, planets, and other black holes swallowed in that period of time. If you can wrap your head around that figure, you’re lying. The black hole has a radius of 800 AU (the distance between Earth and the Sun) and is larger than many galaxies. With a near-incomprehensible scale, it’s approaching the scope of the modern day Dodge Challenger for the title of most massive known object in the universe.

The universe is so interesting.

Think of all the Corolla dents

I love standardized measurements. Golf balls, football fields, and Empire State Buildings are three of my favorites. But people get all weird when I list, say, my height in any of them.

This is what happens when Toyota makes them TOO grounded to the ground. Black hole

Try combining fractions AND decimals. That way you’ll have something for everybody

In theory you could calculate pi using Camry dents if we adapted Buffon’s Needle Problem to dents.

What this really says is both Corollas (86s excluded) and black holes will both suck the life out of anything.
