This is how trillion dollars looks like

A billion dollars ... a hundred billion dollars ...
Eight hundred billion dollars ...
Trillion dollars ...

So let's see how it actually looks like.

Let's start from the notes of one hundred dollars. So far, the largest U.S. bank note in public circulation. Almost everyone has seen, and a few possessed it. It guarantees you friends wherever you are...

A package of hundred dollars bills is just under 1.5 cm thick and it is worth $ 10,000. It easily fits in a pocket and is more than enough for a week or two of shamefully decadent fun...

Believe it or not, these heaps in the picture below are worth one million dollars (100 packets of $ 10,000). They easily fit in the market bag and without any difficulty ...

While a million dollars just does not seem impressive, 100 million dollars is already worthy of respect. You can see them neatly stored on a standard pallet ...

A billion dollars ... that's another story....

The following figure shows a trillion dollars. This is a number that has lately been so often mentioned. What is a trillion dollars? It is a million millions. It is a thousand billion. It is a figure where one is followed by twelve zeros.

Are you ready for this?

I was quite surprised.

Go ahead ...

Scroll down to ...

Ladies and gentlemen; I have the honor to present to you a trillion dollars!

(Pay attention, here the pallets are packed in two rows.)

Hey, there is a man standing in the lower left corner, and now this appears to be a very stimulating sight.

So when next time you hear someone mention the phrase "trillion dollars" ... this is the amount.

The largest glass building in the world

Crystal Cathedral is a Protestant "mega church" in Garden Grove in Orange County, California. The building was designed by the architect Philip Johnson, and it was built by using over 10,000 rectangular glasses and it can accommodate 2900 worshipers.

Rectangular glass was not embedded in the structure, but adhered to it using a silicone-based adhesive. This all is supposed to enable the building to withstand an earthquake of 8 degrees magnitude.

The name "Crystal Cathedral" describes the size of the building and its appearance and it is not a cathedral in the true sense of the word – the bishop does not have duties here.
