    True, quick math that’s 4225x heavier than pure uranium, but still 666x lighter than neutron star soup. No material holds together at that density without a stars worth of gravity

      Sorry, I’m having trouble understanding. Could you express that in approximate number of cans of Dr. Pepper?

        you need the gravity of a star like Taylor Swift to hold a mass as small as Marco Rubio but as dense as R.F. Kennedy Jr.

        It’s the size of a dr. Pepper and the weight of 3 baby elephants.

        It’s also the size of a baby elephant foot and the weight of 728 cans of dr. Pepper.

          That’s fine and dandy, but what I really wanna know now is, to the size of how many Dr. Pepper cans can I compress 3 baby elephants and have that hold together?

          • 3 baby elephants, each about 100 kg is 300 kilogram. Round to density of water, so say 300 liter and ignore the chunks. One can is 0.355 liter. Round to ⅓ liter. That makes 900 cans. About one pallet low stacked pallet.
