So how big is the human race really? When we get rid of the empty space in all the atoms of all 7.3 billion people, what are we left with?

An M&M.

That building would be the size of an average Walmart Super center, if it weren't for all the, well, fatass Walmart shoppers of the world.

Pile everyone up like that and we'd put rabbits to shame

This reminds me of hearing that all the gold ever found in the world would only fill up one Olympic size pool.

According to most people around here, Tiger Stadium, October 31, 1959 held almost that many. Every LSU fan I know was at that game.

10 people per square meter? No way. In the US, we are lucky to get 2 people in a square meter, so we would fill that building alone.

Needs to look more like a rubix cube rather than all one color if you expect the average OTer to move in that thing.

Seems like a small building for the aliens to gather us all to one day in comparison.

You could actually fit the entire population of the world into Jacksonville. With ease.

It would take around 640 people standing on shoulders to reach 1.07km high (roughly).

Would take about 2,340 columns to form one face of the cube.

That is almost 1.5 million people just for a single face of the cube.

The M&M part is pretty trippy. Basically, the human race would be a black hole this size of a penny.
