Well, didn't the canon say the Mata Nui and Voya Nui Islands were the only islands to dot the surface of Aqua Magna?

It was always just water with no land, actually.

@@Luka1180 It was a joke about Mata Nui's mass and volume! Though I am kinda surprised there weren't any islands, considering that there was a sea bed that Mata Nui rested on.

GSR and the prototype robot are capable of manipulating gravity, matter, space, and time. Seeing how Mata Nui was able to quickly alter the planet of Bara Magna, colliding two moons back into the planet, and transmogrify the planet and every inhabitant on it on a selective level. Still needed to do the calculations to make it work, but the fact that Spherus Magna did not explode due to two moon impacts shows great reality manipulation going on. The level of tech used here is beyond our current understanding.

Good point!

If the island covers all of it, but in TLR it doesn’t.

I like this

The great beings definitely knew Tardis tech

Considering the masks and disk powers in the MU, that wouldn't be too farfetched.

I choose to believe they are still aliens.

@@BigB14 I think it makes more sense if they were. I don't mean to discredit the ingenuity of the Agori, but we're talking about true artificial sentience, masks that defy all known laws of physics, including one that could give life to inanimate objects, an enormous robot that could traverse space and move planets out of orbit.

I view the technology of Bionicle as actually being only at an Industrial Revolution level of advancement but with superior ‘building blocks’. The concept being that instead of understanding the universe’s functions and exploiting them, their technology works by guiding the chaos of energized protodermis. Instead of traditional artificial intelligence, they figured out how to induce, modify, and retrieve the consciousnesses that forms in the material. The miracle metal probably produces physics-breaking substances that can then be placed into circuitry to make the masks work. The GSR is full of the stuff so it can release controlled projections of its transmutating energies for its purposes. I think it would be interesting if the science was not super advanced but rather built on anomalies in the universe.

@@BigB14 They are aliens.

@@BigB14 They are aliens.

Great work.

Toa have the power to absorb their element. Maybe the GSR can just absorb water like a Toa of Water.

Honestly a lot of Makuta powers would suit a giant moon sized robot designed to land and conceal itself on planets. Teridax being destined to take over the GSR suddenly makes a lot more sense now.

Or the force of gravity literally not having the same power on that specific planet as it does on Earth, through possibly having a completely different value for the gravitational constant. Or not even having said constant but having gravity function completely different but with similar effects.

Probably not against unicron but even his size is different in every continuity

At 3000 km tall he can step on a city easily. The Earths atmosphere ends at 100 km high, or at least that is where the Karmen line is. 3000 km is insane.

So, which figure was a misprint then?

Considering Greg wasn't the only person on the bionicle story team, the inflated height could be due to a game of telephone rather then Greg alone choicing to purposely change it to make it a million times more awesome or something.

@@diegodankquixote-wry3242I didn’t talk about purposeful choices. I talked about confusions. He’s again and again proven he is reallly bad at science. Plus miles is a unit of measurement used in America while meters are not common there.

I do! Keep an eye out for it in the future :)

@@theknowledgetower208 Yay! 😃 Btw, I saw your video on Bionicle Day. Really interesting 👍

​@@theknowledgetower208 I may have just discovered something about the proportions of the planet and the villages. For context, I asked about a video about Spherus Magna because I wanted to draw a map of the planet of my own, so I was curious about its size, but thanks to this video I got more or less an Idea so I started drawing the main continent using the its comic incarnation as base for its form. I used the size of Neptune as a reference for the planet's size until you uploaded your video. Then I added a GSR for reference and scaled it to its approximate size, and then I made a copy and shrank it to the size of the Protorype Robot. Lastly I added the official map of Bara Magna, which has scattered pieces of the Prototype Robot, and scaled it down to said Robot's size so that I could properly place the villages in my map. And that's when I realized that all the villages occupy a VERY SMALL region of the planet. Here's an early stage of my map with the villages in their more or less proper size: ( twitter.com/Garmagic2/status/1695457253480952277?s=20 ) Maybe I just got the proportions wrong but if the villages truly occupy such a small region, then this makes the Shattering much more darker than it was because that would mean that there's only a small region of Bara Magna remotely inhabitable, meaning that following the Core War there must have been a huge mass extinction for both animal and sentient life forms. Anyway, I don't know if you had already realized this on your own or not but I thought it would be worth mentioning. I'm not exactly a math guy 😅

That is a very good question, one that I am in fact currently working on an answer to as a follow up to this video ;)

@@theknowledgetower208 Nice, looking forward to it. :)

No, he’s not. He’s one of the main guys.

While Farshtey is dumber in science, Faber is often crazy and ridiculous in other aspects lol.

There is a size difference between Metru Nui and Mata Nui. I think all the islands inside GSR are pretty small compared with Mata Nui. Also if there are elemental powers that can create matter, I think some of those issues with raw materials could be solved without mining.
