Something on another thread reminded me of him so I looked him up                                https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/members/jake-the-peg/ 

 & it's unbelievably nearly 10 years since he left , does anyone remember him? He was quite good on science and maths.

It's fascinating though, looking at what topics were about, a decade ago.

Yes, I remember him very well.  Nice chap and very intelligent with it.

What made me think of him was that he once informed that the really solid matter of the entire human race, every single person, could all be compressed into a solid cube with the equivalent size of a sugar cube. I now know this to be true, but didn't know it then.

If you remove all the space in the atoms that make up a camel, it'll go through the eye of a needle no problem.

I think some have more space where there should be matter...

[ynnafymmi]

"mostly made up of empty space"...aye,right,tell that to the undertakers at my aunt Aggies funeral.They basically had to bury her in a piano case,not a coffin.As i said...utter airy-fairy nonsense.
