TIL - All humans stood on top of each other would be significantly taller than the diameter of the Sun.

Cool.

And yet all humans alive, if packed like sardines, will fit in a 1 mile cube, with room to spare.

Physical dimensions can be an amazing un-intuitive thing.

Give every human an acre of land, and we'd all easily fit into Texas.

There are 8 billion people on earth. And Texas is 172 million acres. I don't think the math works out.

We (the humans) would fit into Texas regardless of whether the land we owned would ;-)
