something big, enormous, large to one's imagination.

Hugh ….is a personal consideration and has been applied to mean "a significant event”, as well as an object of size. A Quantum Leap is considered a “hugh” step forward. But the Quantum Leap is, in actual fact ,the smallest atomic event observed. The fact of electron orbital disturbance producing a photon of light. Hugh in terms of size can thus be a very small event with vast implications or a volume of space in terms of the speed of light over time. The distance light travels in a year, a light year equal to about 10 trillion kilometers, 6 trillion miles. I looked for a word to describe an area of space that would be a cubic light-year in size but there is only one word that comes close…Hugh.
