minus-squareunmagical@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up13·edit-213 hours ago 36 inches is about the height of a human 2 year old. Assuming average weight of a 2 year old is 30lbs. Assuming average body mass density is the same as water (1g/cm^3 ). Then average volume of a 2 year old is: (30lbs * 453.5924g/lbs) * cm^3 /1g = 13607.772cm^3 Assuming volume is constant, but weight increased to 2 US tons Then final creature density is: (2 * 2000lbs * 453.5924g/lbs) / 13607.772cm^3 = 133.333…g/cm^3 That is about 6 times denser than the heaviest measured element and a little over half the density of the solar core. I sincerely hope my math is right, but this is a shitpost and I didn’t have paper so :shrug_emoji_1:
