Things That Are Bigger On The Inside

The laws of physics forbid an item from being bigger on the inside, so in order to find things that are larger inside than out we must forego standard science and head into the realm of science fiction.

There we can find amazing objects with interior spaces roomy enough for Time Lords, Grouches and families of wizards to chill in, the perfect places for a daydream.  (Illustration by Hello With Cheese)

General relativity says that the volume inside of a massive object is slightly bigger than expected from an equivalent empty sphere with the same radius and surface area. I can't work it out at the moment, but I vaguely remember that the Earth gains around 100 km^3 and the Sun gains something similar to the volume of Earth.

I would not want to stand next to something that does that much stronger on a human sized scale though.
