Default Re: Here\'s some perspective

Well, perhaps if you actually put all that rice into a space the size of a chessboard. However, one of the things about solids is they don't change volume under pressure. I suppose if you squeeze them hard enough there is some term for what happens when they become super-impacted, but I have no idea what it might be. So, if you could find a way to get several quadrillion pounds of rice into a 1'x1'x1/4" area, perhaps a small black hole would appear. Try it and see... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
