Virus In A Coke Can

[Paigntonian]

Someone was on the box this morning saying that all the viruses in the world would fit inside a coke can. Weird thought.

How did he/she measure or weigh them?

Thanks for that Lynne.

[ichkeria]

Getting them in there will be the tricky bit

Is Pepsi OK?

[Mamyalynne]

Sneeze through a funnel Ich ;-)

[dannyk13]

Did they mean [all] viruses or just the Coronavirus?

[Khandro]

That's nowt. All the solid matter in every human being on the planet could fit into a matchbox

That's why I never drink cans of coke...

I think they said all of the Corona Viruses, but yes they are very very small.

If the Earth became a black hole it would be the size of a ping pong ball!

[ToraToraTora]

the event horizon would be that size but the size of the earth would be zero.

[davebro]

Things that we see as solid are actually full of space. If the atom nucleus was the size of a football and electron the size of an orange the electron would be 2 miles away from the nucleus.
(I'm told!)

[ToraToraTora]

dave, yes, as we are using coke cans, if an atom was the diamter of a coke can then the electrons would be 1km away. Matter is 99.99% space.

I didn’t know that dark energy has a repulsive gravity (mamya’s link).
