If You Could Extract All The Empty Space in Atoms Then The Entire Human Race Could Fit Inside The Space of a Sugar Cube -

Atoms are mostly empty space, in fact 99.9999% of an atom is actually empty with an example being that if somehow we were able to

squeeze out all of the empty space and leave just the protons, electrons and neutrons the whole of our race could fit into the size of a

sugar cube. The playwright Tom Stoppard had the best image saying that if the nucleus was a cathedral then the electron was a moth

flying around inside it.

The wonderful world of physics can also help us estimate the weight of that sugar cube, in general terms anyway. Since most of an

atoms mass is contained in its nucleus, and all we need to do is remove the empty space; we have not actually removed any weight

so it would be one very dense sugar cube indeed, estimated at about 316 million tons

Why?

If they lay on their backs they could, surely.

Yeah, but i think it implies that they can't look at the sky, while they're standing! Edited May 6, 2015 by FollowTheTrail

[seaturtlehorsesnake]

how often do pigs even want to look at the sky? is it a thing for them?

we don't know much about the inner lives of pigs, i guess

[toyomotor]

Pigs are very intelligent, why wouldn't one of them want to look at the sky and wonder?
