I was wondering what the real-world scale of Blockland is.

this crazy fox is onto something here

[Taboo]

20 tu/s² : 9.8 m/s² :: 2.04 tu : 1 m
1 tu ≈ 0.49 m
2 stud (width) ≈ 1 m
The height of a single brick is 0.6 tu. A Blockhead is just under 5 bricks tall, let's call it 4.8 because it's a nice number and I don't feel like actually checking.
If you approximate a bit, a Blockhead must therefore be ~2.88 metres tall.
Also, for fun, the width of a Blockhead could be guestimated to about 2.8 studs (or 1.4 metres), since we have a little wiggle room in 3 stud wide space. That's counting the arms, though, so it may be more accurate to say 0.6 metres wide.
Canon: We're huge.

I say stud is one foot.  It you last your blockhead down, he's around 5.5 studs tall/long, and since we know that blockheads are a bit chubby, I just assume that the voucher is a slightly less than average in hit m hight person.

One foot equals one stud means that 88 bricks per second is equal to 60 mph, which feels about right to me.

[Hansome duded]

When trying to build real life objects, I usually scale the blockhead to the height of an average man, or 5 1

[Taboo]

the height of an average man, or 5 1

5 1

what

[Dionysusan]

man has pondered many things

but in the end, there is only one question

who is faster?

[Incinerate]

As Georges said, one blockhead is about 5.5 studs.  I would say one stud is one foot.

Making a football field of 300 studs (feet) looks like this...



I would say that looks just about right.

Of course I think of blockheads as lego sized minifigs, but for building and scaling purposes modeling real life, I would say this is the best measurement.

Either we're huge or the Blockland "planet" has less mass than earth.

[Taboo]

we're huge, unless Planet Blockland is made of some ultra dense bullstuff it'd need to be roughly the same size as earth to have the equivalent gravitational pull
wait, i'm bored so i'm going to do some work and figure out the numbers regarding a planet made from plastic

[Taboo]

Lego bricks are made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), a common plastic. ABS has a density ~1.08 g/cm³. A standard 2x2 brick has a mass of 1.15 grams.
Generalizing for the sake of time, our attention spans, and my laziness, the Earth has a mean density of ~5.52 g/cm³. The mass of the Earth is 5.9721986x10²⁷ grams.

Doing simple math will tell you that you'd require somewhere in the neighbourhood of 5,193,216,173,913,043,478,260,869,566 2x2's (That's just over 5 octillion) to recreate the Earth just in terms of its mass.
But we adjust these numbers for Blockland's "real" scale (relative to Blockheads). A 2x2 brick measures as such.

So.

scale multiplier



conversion

There's the approximate mass of 2x2 in Blockland, 71.3 grams. Now let's refigure the mass equation with this in mind.

Ah. 83,761,551,192,145,862,552,594,670 (83 septillion) bricks, that's a bit more manageable.

Okay. So now we have the universe's largest toybox full of 83 septillion 2x2 Lego bricks. Now we have to put them into a sphere. Anyone who's built a sphere in Blockland probably knows that they're very approximate and very precise objects to build, but there is some math to it. I'll need a bit to work out a good way to calculate it though, so I guess there'll be a part 2 to this stupidity.

(I ended up not needing the densities because I don't care enough for precision, so enjoy the random trivia I guess)

[SWAT One]

I'd say that a meter would be like 6 studs.

[TrainandSpacelover]

83,761,551,192,145,862,552,594,670 (83 septillion) bricks, that's a bit more manageable.

I think that's a bit over the brick limit

[Taboo]

a tad

[Swat 3]

weensy bit

[Frankie²]

im gonna guess a blockhead is about the size of lego minifig and the blocks are the same size as legos
