Could Godzilla really exist? [video]

In 2014, the monster Godzilla turned 60. To celebrate, Legendary studio has partnered with Japanese Toho to bring the giant lizard back to the big screen. If you've been to the movies and checked the production, you must have been at least a little afraid. After all, could a creature of that magnitude exist? What would it take to defeat her?

If on its last trip to New York the monster cost more than $ 7 billion, this time it will threaten the stability of the entire planet. In fact, such a "bug" was going to do more work in real life than it looks in the movie

Starting at its size of 108.2 meters - 15.2 meters larger than the Statue of Liberty (93 meters) - and its 81.6 tons. A body this size would require hyperresistant bones and a heart that could throb blood beyond Earth's gravity.

A hunger to kill

Taking only its proportions into account, Godzilla would need to eat 215 million calories a day. If he had a preference for human flesh, he would need a menu of nearly 2, 000 people a day, each body providing only 110, 000 calories. Thus, the giant's impact on Earth would increase the world mortality rate by 1.3%.

But it is not just the titan's appetite that would cause problems: the body itself that these calories would be feeding would bring difficulties. Because of its more than 80 tons, Godzilla would weigh the same as a little over half of all the gold that humanity has ever mined. In other words, as soon as the monster set foot on earth, gravity itself would end its existence, crushing it like a tiny insect.
