B. It is said by many that the Dragonball Universe is very much smaller than the real Universe. This is on the grounds that Snake Way is 1,000,000 km long, and on the following officially released picture:



The argument is that King Yemma's (Emma-Daioh's) Palace is the centre of Otherworld, that Snake Way represents the radius of Otherworld and that Otherworld and The Universe are the same size. Therefore the Dragonball Universe is smaller than our Solar System.

The argument against this is that the planet that Dragonball mainly takes place on is Earth, that Earth has (had) a moon, and a Sun, that there are other stars in the night sky, and that the Milky Way is directly referenced. This picture itself is no more than figurative and is meant only as a means of relative positioning throughout the universe. Something similar to Yggdrasil, the World Tree in Norse mythology.

In a more modern and every day setting, these 'maps' are more akin to Harry Beck's topological map that simplified the layout of the London Underground metro system, which contains the right elements but is distorted to make for easier understanding because the centre was far too dense.

The Dragonball Universe IS the size of our own and contains many of the same structures, although different in nature. Otherworld (the Cosmos) is not the same size as the Universe, but that it is akin to an inverse T.A.R.D.I.S. (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space) in which a small space becomes large. I believe that in the case of Otherworld, it is a large space become small.

This would make sense that the Gods could oversee the entire Universe while covering a relatively very small distance. Also, the diagram shows only a relative positioning of things. If it were to scale, King Kai's (Kaioh's) planet would not be seen, and Earth should be visible, and the Sun, which is 14x the distance of Snake Way from side to side, could not fit in the picture at all.
