Have you ever wondered ; how big the goo ball would be if you blended up all of the people on Earth ? No ? Well neither had I , but some fun mathematician determine to work that out .
If for some unanticipated explanation , you put all living people in the world into a reallllly openhanded liquidiser , extracted all of the sludge , and decided to shape this into a human meaty ball – the resulting gooey arena would be minor than you would think .
This … creative … reddit userkiwi2703 decided to do the calculations . So , the density of a human is 985 kilo per three-dimensional meter , or kg / m3 , ( near to H2O , which is 1,000 kilogram / m3 ) and the average human body mass is around 62 kilograms . If blended , you could probably stuff 16 human beings into a cubic metre ( but please do n’t adjudicate this to substantiate it ) . So for the 7.88 billion multitude in the existence , they could be squeezed into496 millioncubic metre .
This sphere of goo would be just under 1 kilometer wide ( around three Eiffel towers ) , and could quite easily into the Central Park ( New York City ) . Here is a demonstration of that :
For the number of people in the world , this is actually a really small ball , and it is crazy how the legal age of the Earth has been modify so much to feed this goo nut .
Every twelvemonth the world population is grow . In the reddit discussions , when postulate about how much this meatball will grow by , u / IntoAMuteCrypt said :
" As a non - algebraic response : The World Bank and several other generator number a world universe growth pace of 1.05 % per annum . rent ’s labialise up the sphere ’s diam to 1 km ( remember , it ’s 1 km wide , not 1 km in radius ) for ease of maths , and assume that the average mass of a human being does not change .
Across 1 twelvemonth , the population is multiply by 1.0105 , so the loudness will change by the same amount . The radius is relative to the cube root word of the volume , so it gets multiply by 1.0035 ( rounded off ) . Our 500 megabyte radius sphere becomes a 501.7439 metre radius sphere – it ’s produce by 1.7439 metre across a twelvemonth . win over to second , it comes out at a niggling under 16 micrometer per secondly . Not a pot , huh ? "
This is not the first time someone decided to do these interesting thought experiments . Back in 2014 , when the population was a bit smaller at 7.159 billion , it was found that you could fit every human into the Grand Canyon – albeit not as much as a gooey human chunk hole as this new example .
