Could giant sandworms really exist?
I was sent to Arrakis by the Empire to investigate the biology of sandworms on Dune. The largest creatures on Earth are whales that live in water. On this planet, there is sand instead of water. The only creatures that can "swim" in the sand oceans are giant sandworms, which the locals call Shai-Hulud. Well, when we look at the issue scientifically, can such creatures with lengths of up to 400 meters/1312ft exist biologically?
