“More than the entire world’s GDP” is just a massive understatement here.
Let’s put this number in context. The highest estimate for the number of planets in our galaxy is 8 trillion. If we terraformed, settled and developed every single one of those planets, to the point where every last one had the same total GDP as Earth today, it would still not be enough to pay this fine.
How far short would we be? Would we need to settle and develop two entire galaxies worth of planets? Ten? A hundred? A thousand?!
Nope. Twenty million. We would need to settle TWENTY. FUCKING. MILLION. GALAXIES. Each containing 8 trillion planets. Each planet containing about 8 billion humans.
That’s how comically, ludicrously, impossibly large this fine is.
