A planet made of humans

[Encryptor]

This is just some fun calculations I'd like to share but what if we made a body in space out of ourselves? so let's do some calculations and you can tell me about any mistakes or add in your own 5 cents  right:  currently there are ~ 7.57 billion humans on our planet, The average human weighs about 62kg (according to google) and the density of a human(flesh) is similar to water therefore 1kg of us = 1 litre = 0.001m^3. So if we calculate the mass of our planet we'll get 469.34 billion kg or 4.6934E11 kg. The volume of the planet will be 4.6934E11 * 0.001 = 4.6934E8 m^3 or 469.34 million metres cubed. So now we can work out the radius of our planet as V= 4/3(pi)r^3  therefore 4.6934E8= 4/3(pi)r^3   so (3V/(4pi))cube rooted =r   so r^3 = 112,046,671m so r= 482.1m so with that radius I guess we'd count as an asteroid or something. Now for some more fun let's work out the escape velocity (how fast you need to go to escape from the planet): Vescape = sqrt(2GM/r) we got the constant G=6.67E-11 and we got the r and mass of our planet so putting in the numbers the escape velocity will be = 0.36m/s so theoretically you could jump and not come back down. If you guys want to work out other stats for our mythical human planet and add on feel free to. (Just to clarify it will probably have to be a human pulp cause we can't have spaces between them and I'm not a psychopath this is for science  )

Don't you think this is taking "No man is an island" a little too far?

What exactly is for science? Also:

1: We are more than flesh. 

2: You are probably on some watch-list for searching for human flesh density on google.

3: If you just went with the assumption that human flesh is the same as water than you just calculated(incorrectly) what a body of water in space would be like.

Right this annoyed me a little, first of all read what I said not just the last part. I didn't downgrade the value of human life nor have I suggested that we should massacre all humans and make a giant blob out of them. Secondly, I am definitely not on any watch list nor do I care as I have simply researched the average density of a human which it told me was similar to water since you know 60% of us is water. As for point 3 again read what I said and add your "5 cents" give more constructive criticism for example: "You could have calculated this... to get a more accurate reading than using the density of water". Finally, this is a what if question so I basically worked out this theoretical sphere that doesn't and hopefully never would exist so do some calculations about this weird concept and share them here  oh and let me rephrase "for science" for you: "This is just for fun and won't contribute to science at all" I tried to be funny but yeah. Alright hopefully this is all sorted now and we can get back to fun speculations not off-topic arguments.

I have given you a +1 for a wacky idea. This sounds like the sort of thing Randall might try in his What If series: https://what-if.xkcd.com/archive/ (in fact, I'm surprised he hasn't).

Don't get annoyed  I didnt sugest that you downgraded the value of human life. There was no moral questioning attached in my comment. I meant that we are not just flesh, we are bone, cartilage and other things thats what I meant. For 2 I tried to make a joke. Your idea is funny and I wanted to google density of human flesh to verify that's when I released it sounds kinda wrong haha. And for the third step I just meant that you switched from the whole human idea in the last part and replaced it with water.

Oh alright It seems I have totally misunderstood your comment  haha thanks for clarifying  I'll be doing some more calculations soon as well, so a new topic will be made in a bit

Thanks  Vsauce does a lot of cool comparisons as well, like the time to draw all combinations of cards and telling you what you can do in that time (It was something like filling the grand canyon with grains then for every grand canyon full you put a piece of paper on top of one another and when you reach our star a couple of times you'll be done there was more to it but that's just a summary  )
