What is the biggest ship in science fiction? The Citadel from Mass Effect? Nah. The second Death Star? Come on, that’s only the size of a small moon. The Halo from Halo? Not even close. The largest ship in science fiction is the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It’s 10 million light-years tall, about 100 times the diameter of the Milky Way. Impossible? Only if you have a problem with a punch that could take a few million years to land. The biggest? Yes. So big in fact that astrophysicist João V. Tomotani wonders if it could be the Great Attractor. Here’ store from the Journal of Geek Studies:
The existence of a robot 10 million light-years tall is very questionable for some practical reasons. The usefulness of a robot of this size is also doubtful. How could a robot of this size engage in combat (or do anything, actually)? Since nothing restricted by the physics of our universe can move faster than light, the act of throwing a single punch would take a few million years. It would take a few million years more for the pilot of this robot to find whether the punch hit the target or not. It would be a long fight. These practical questions will henceforth be disregarded here. The question posed is only one: could the Great Attractor be a consequence of the existence of the TTGL?
