That was really deep

That's a lot of room for several dormant matoran waiting to be awaken by a great leader. About the spikes, I've seen shots from the movie and the elevator-spike is a bit off, it's not like half of the structure, it's twice that. PS: Roodaka around 3.4 m? Damn, I knew she was a tall dommy mommy just not how much, perhaps a little taller? Toa in movies don't follow same heights as their sets.

Hi everyone - I’ve got a correction In this video, one of my calculations was the potential floor space of the Coliseum, figuring that if it had 870 floors like I previously calculated, each floor would reduce by 1/870th due to the tapered nature of the building. However, after some peer review in the comments, it was pointed out to me that this only works if the Coliseum tapers to a point at the top, which it doesn’t, instead having a flat top at the stadium. This in turn made me underestimate my floor area calculations, particularly at the top of the Coliseum where the difference would be more pronounced. Instead, what I should have done was account for this flat top by finding the difference between it and the base (both already calculated in the video) and then divide that by the number of floors to get my reduction factor. Re-running those numbers again, we instead get a final potential floor space of the Coliseum of 1,662 square kilometres - or 1.8 times larger than the land area of the rest of the city. That’s up from the 1.6 times larger than the rest of the city I quoted in the video. Turns out, the Coliseum was actually even bigger than I thought too!

Movies didn't gave this structure justice, that's sure.

Honestly theres no way the matoran universe map is to scale. How is artahka remotely hidden

:+ D

My question is this: Is the difference in effect from the power levels linear like you've been calculating, or is it exponential?

Another banger video Rahi! Absolutely mindblowing how big the Coliseum is! Bionicle has such a WONKY sense of scale for everything, and at this point its fully hilarious 😆

Hey, don't know if you will see this but I would like to know how the great spirit robot works. Like how the city's, islands and stuff works. Where are they? How does the sky work in the different places? A more overview of the matoran universe.

After this and your size of Voya Nui video I can't help but wonder, does all this stuff actually fit within the GSR?

loving the final twist that it's a structurally accurate building comparable to a real life project

Turns out you can get a lot more ambitious with your civil engineering projects once you have access to magic metal. ^^' Scale in BIONICLE is always so weird - the Coliseum is a building comparable to the highest mountains on Earth, while the city it's in is just the size of a moderately sized human town. But it's located in a dome that is just so, so, *so* much larger than it would have to be to house the island, regardless if you go by Faber scale or Farshtey scale. And despite that, most of the interior of the GSR is not part of the dome megastructure but is stuff like EP pipes and power cables and plants and actuators and generators and engines and and and The GSR is one of the most fascinating fictional locations/structures ever imo. And so much of it still unexplored in both canon and fanon. And then you realize it is so fascinating because it's based on the human body, something all of us have, and which is no less complex and mysterious in its workings. I'm rambling, but that's because I love this story because it makes me dream and wonder. And I love how much love and passion this community still holds for it. Thank you for this and all of your videos! Happy 810NICLE day, gathered friends!

Hold up, why does every floor decrease by 1/870? (13:56)

Good theory about the Thornax's explosive nature. Good comparison too, I've never heard of the sandbox tree before.

That onscreen note about the calculation being full potential floorspace stopped me from posting the comment I was going to make about the power plant. Well played. An excellent video. Also, I guess I always assumed the stadium was located somewhere next to the Coliseum and just didn't appear on maps. But the top makes some sense, I suppose. Makes the maps more consistent. Just makes it weird to me that the Toa were able to get up to the top and walk onto the field possibly without being noticed? I guess that's easier on game day.

Imagine how much of a beast keetongu is that climbed at least 2 km and fell that height AND SURVIVED

So ignoring drag and assuming 1G, if you were to jump from the primary spires it would take about 30 seconds to fall to the ground. From the higher spire it takes another 6 seconds after. I don't know exactly what the real fall time from either of those would be. You probably need to calculate acceleration due to gravity, how long it would take to reach terminal velocity, and once you are at terminal velocity how long does it take to cover the rest of the distance. And I don't know if a Bionicle terminal velocity is the same as a human. For that matter I don't know if they have the same gravity as Earth

Love the work you do! Happy Bionicle Day!

10:47 I don't know how I never realized this would be how to fix the field/stadium height vs tower height discrepancy until you mentioned "open air" and it all started to click. I had just assumed this was at ground level, but on the top floor(s) just under the spires makes way more sense. Now that we have the measurements of the Akilini Field we could calculate the actual population of the city, as there is no way there are only 1,000 Matoran in those stands

i imagine several floors are also turned into one massive room to hold larger project and exhibits, and maybe some of those floors you see on skyscrapers where they aren't really floors and are mostly for access to important structural bits also i wonder what the wind drag is at the top, plot armor is really the only reason the coliseum hasn't collapsed yet

What I'm hearing is that all of Bionicle was guerilla marketing for the X-Seed 4000

Dang, that Visorak that jumped off the edge of the Coliseum was falling for quite a while. Roodaka was brutal.

I definitely think that a lot of that space was probably composed of giant rooms, such as the Matoran storage Vakama saw in his vision, the hangars for their giant vehicles... I forget where the Vahki were built, but it would make sense that it'd be in the Coliseum! Whatever the structure of the building, the scale is impressive! Nice video!

Now I’m just wondering how much area is in the archives below the city, but I don’t think there are enough descriptions to really calculate that. But given how large Metru Nui is and the fact that the archives extended across the entire land mass and even out under the Silver Sea in some places, it was definitely a very huge area. And when you add the fact that there were lots of different levels of most likely equal size, it definitely makes a lot of sense how they could easily have a complete collection of every rahi known to the Matoran, and still be so large that even the Onu-Matoran who spent their whole lives down their could still get so lost in it that they would never find their way back out.

The coliseum is one of of those mega structures I wish we could build in real life.

The Matoran could build a space elevator with that kind of towers(?

This video gets an instant like just on the basis that you had the patience to count 1089 pixels and Im pretty sure you had to do it twice to be sure of the number.

I think that a building like this is physically impossible in the real world. It's too heavy and too tall. :P

It's babel's tower. :P

I used NukeBlast app to calculate what if all that enegry was converted into explosion. Power of explosion resulted to be 5,6 trillon megatons. And raduis of fireball (yes, that nuclear mushroom) was 146 000 km (≈90 720 miles) which is 22 times bigger than radius of earth. Such explosion can obliterate earth with moon P.S: I found out a simular site, and it's results was even bigger. 212 345 km (≈131 295 miles) fireball radius

Solid contribution to 810NICLE day

HAPPY DAY OF 810NKELS !!!!🤪👍👍

You know what would be cool? how deep was Mahri Nui, on the toa Mahri teasers is said they were around 35.000 feet under water were the toa crawler landed, maybe we could get something out of that th-cam.com/video/VGEuIGJYfSo/w-d-xo.html

The rent on the rooms in there must be insane. Thank you for all the work you do bringing the world of our childhood heroes into perspective! Happy 810NICLE DAY!

Always a joy to see you get excited about these calculations. It’s like a Bionicle style to Game Theory.

There was that one rahi which had the powers of the kanohka discs and enlarged itself so much that it's atoms could no longer keep themselves together. I wonder if the rahi's powers let it bypass the usual size limit of the disc powers or if when using that disc power to go beyond the size limit causes that effect. I'd guess the former since if something was already at the size limit it's atoms should still be densely pact enough to keep it together.
