Ogawd that's just gonna give the Malthusians something else to be paranoid about.

How about bunching up the amount of land above sea level.

If the planet were shrunk down to a 2” diameter it would be more perfect and smooth than any man made ball bearing. Even with the Marianas trench and Mt Everest and K-2

Cool! Now I can walk down there and collect all the Spanish gold I want!

Good teachable moment about the difference between surface area and volume.

If the world’s population was dumped into the middle of the ocean at once, would there be enough displacement to cause a notable rise in the sea level?

Posted this on the other thread:

Their calculations are wrong. The volume of water on the plant which includes all the the water on the earth and in the atmosphere comes out to 1,400,000,000 km^3 which would make a sphere approximately 1400 km in diameter which is twice as large as they show in the pic.

Just most crap out of NASA. They need to go away
