If the DNA molecule was a meter wide, it would be 500 miles long, and the replisome which replicates it would be the size of a FedEx truck, and travel down the length of the molecule replicating base pairs at 375 mph, making a mistake only every 106 miles, and that mistake will probably be repaired.
