I keep thinking about Gary’s nervous interview about the bond market’s 26 TRILLION dollar treasury market, so I asked GPT to visualize:

Stack of Dollar Bills: Imagine each unit of the 26 trillion is represented by a single dollar bill. If you stack these bills one on top of the other, the stack would reach approximately 2,710,800 kilometers high. This is more than seven times the distance from the Earth to the Moon, which is about 384,400 kilometers.

Grains of Sand: Suppose one grain of sand represents one unit in the 26 trillion. The average beach might contain about 100 billion grains of sand. This means you would need approximately 260 beaches, each with 100 billion grains of sand, to represent the enormity of 26 trillion.

Distance Travelled by Light: Consider the speed of light, which travels at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. If you equate each unit of the 26 trillion to one kilometer, the distance light could travel would be around 26 trillion kilometers. This is equivalent to light traveling from the Earth to beyond our solar system and into interstellar space, a journey that would take light over 24 years to complete.

The Age of the Earth: The Earth is estimated to be about 4.54 billion years old. To comprehend 26 trillion, imagine a timeline where each year represents one unit. In this scenario, you would need to replay the entire history of the Earth nearly 5,730 times to reach 26 trillion.
