I don't disagree about your example, but that works both ways. That's why you measure mass and not units of something of arbitrary size. Energy enters through front door or delivery trucks, energy leaves through sewers, windows&#x

Here's a fun compilation of side-by-side renderings of smallest to largest fictional buildings (not only scifi). It really helps get a sense of the scale of the imagined structures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjIci
