The most "scientifically feasable" of all Godzillas, in my opinion, was from the 1998 film.

One single individual, born out of the radion from nuclear tests. This implies it took decades to fully grow and mature.

Although gigantic, one animal would be sustainable by the ocean.

The film ends with the animal being killed, so, for a change, humans eliminated a bigger global ecological threat.

I thought it ended with at least one egg intact?

It does, so it hints the cycle will restart.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged, but keep it in good faith and never punch down.
