(no one does ... he doesn't say if that's a number of ounces or a number of metric tons ...)

uh it should be in kgs sorry, I was just bewildered how I managed to fuck up an equation with it literally being in front of me (cus I googled it). The number comes up to a little less than 2 protons... which means (according to my food poisoned brain's calculation) that if there were 2 protons in a sphere with a radius of 15 cm, it would collapse into a black hole.

So you're saying that 2 protons closer than 15 cm would collapse into a black hole? That's got me pretty worried, because I have a lot more than 2 protons within that proximity in my body, by at least an order of magnitude or so

yeah sorry, its all blackholes now
