Editing 2417: 1/1,000th Scale World

| Hot objects may emit Cherenkov radiation, which would result in the observatory detecting false positives of neutrino observations. They may also melt the ice that shields the detectors from other particles that would trigger false positives.

However, a 1/1000th replica of scale Niagra falls would be over a meter wide, so without some kind of system to divert the whole flow into one spot, it would not be possible to fill a glass this quickly. Also, the height of the scaled-down Niagra falls would be 5cm, with another 5cm between the water level and the riverbed, so it might be difficult to fill a glass depending on its height.

| This item is likely to be a reference to the famous Arthur C. Clarke quote: "Getting information from the internet is like getting a glass of water from the Niagara Falls."

| This is a reference to the warning, "Be careful not to step on cities with especially pointy towers, like Toronto, Seattle, and Dubai" from [[2411: 1/10,000th Scale World]]. It's possible that many visitors to that scaled world did not heed the warnings and complained to the scaled world's creators, causing them to cover pointy towers with safety caps for this scaled world. However, now there are [[Black Hat|people who apparently want to cause harm to others]], or at least don't care about not causing harm to others, by removing these safety caps.

The tip of the Burj Khalifa of Dubai - the tallest building in the scale world - appears to be about a meter and a half wide, or 1.5mm at 1/1000th scale. The other buildings pictured are the CN Tower of Toronto and the Eiffel Tower of Paris. (The Seattle Space Needle, referenced above, does not appear.)

| The iconic Zeppelins, as with many other early airships, were filled with hydrogen to use its very low density to give them the buoyancy required to fly. However, it is also very flammable and prone to explosions, with other materials used in their construction also being notably liable to becoming a fire-danger. The most famous of these disasters was when the {{w|Hindenburg disaster|Hindenburg}} caught fire in 1937.

In more modern times, almost all airships, blimps and balloons use helium (and/or hot-air, sometimes in combination). This includes the six operational 'Zeppelin NT' craft, a modern semi-rigid design produced by the spiritual and economic successor to the original Zeppelin company.

| Helium is a noble gas and therefore not flammable, with a modern gondola and gasbag/envelope materials also being far less flammable in their own right. If Randall's scale model has airships of any sort, this may reflect an anachronistic mismatch against the clearly modern era neutrino detectors and other features. But any non-scale flames could be several magnitudes larger than 'normal' scaled-down hazards, so considered more of a ''general'' danger to the airships; as they also ought to be too many other elements of the scale world.

The Starship ''Enterprise'' might be corroded by seawater, or unable to handle external pressure (spacecraft are designed for the exact opposite pressures in a vacuum). If lifted into the air, the Aircraft Carrier ''Enterprise'' would probably fall back down because it can't fly {{Citation needed}} (and be damaged or even destroyed upon hitting the ground or water surface), but then again, it's unclear how the model ''Enterprise'' can fly or hover.

The Enterprise from the Kelvin timeline in the JJ Abrams films has been seen to hide underwater and take off again without significant problems, however the Original Series version has not been seen to fly lower than Earth's outer atmosphere, and quite possibly cannot fly at altitudes as low as depicted in this comic. Based on the depiction of the ''Enterprise'', it is hard to tell exactly which version of the ''Enterprise'' it is, and thus its exact capabilities, as it resembles the NCC-1701 depicted in the Original Series, the alternate universe NCC-1701 depicted in the JJ Abrams movies, the refitted NCC-1701 depicted in the first three Star Trek movies, and also the rebuilt NCC-1701-A depicted in Star Trek V and Star Trek VI.

| The surface of the Dead Sea is 430.5 metres (1,412 ft) below sea level, so connecting it to the ocean would cause catastrophic flooding of the area. If there are models of Israeli and Jordanian cities next to the Dead Sea, they could get damaged by the water. Also, the model world would be less accurate because the Dead Sea is not connected to the ocean in real life. {{Citation needed}}

| The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory was a neutrino observatory located at the 2100-meter depth level of the Creighton Mine in Ontario, Canada.  It has since been upgraded to the SNOLAB facility.  At 1/1000th scale, its meters-scale tunnels would be millimeters across, and its 3,000-meter maximum depth would reach three meters underground.  This would make it ideal for habitation by ants, but as the mine is in rock, and not soil, extracting the ants after they get in would be much more difficult than most pest control operations.  Also, some types of ants would eat the insulation around the wires, causing electrical short-circuits and other problems, which would be bad because the model's neutrino detectors are apparently functional. (See the row about the south pole neutrino observatory.)

| In 1987, approximately 300,000 people [https://www.sfgate.com/local-donotuse/article/Golden-Gate-bridge-walk-1987-anniversary-disaster-13896571.php walked across the Golden Gate Bridge], which could be the largest weight it has supported: 80kg * 300,000 = 2.4*10^7kg. A visitor to the scaled world would expect to weigh a much as (1000^3) = 1 billion native scaled humans, above the [https://www.vibrationdata.com/golden.htm total mass of the bridge].

| Blue whales are the largest animal species in the world. They usually grow to about 20m long in real life, meaning that at 1/1000th scale they would be only 2cm long, meaning that they could be consumed by a goldfish. Goldfish are omnivores, so they would eat tiny blue whales. But they are also freshwater fish, so would they survive long enough in seawater to put the whales at risk? This could perhaps be considered carping. And perhaps Randall's customers have access to [https://mashable.com/2017/09/20/saltwater-bearing-goldfish-australia/ Australian goldfish].

This might also be a reference to the video game ''Tasty Blue,'' in which a goldfish eats animals of increasing size and eventually becomes large enough to eat blue whales.

Blue whales usually eat {{w|krill}}; the tiny whales would be about the same size, though nowhere near the same density, so any feeding whale would soon go hungry. However, a 15-foot (ca. 5 meters) diameter whale in a 30-foot (ca. 9 m) trench (ignoring displacement, for the moment) would most likely be too stressed to eat.
