It would be lonely

SDAI-Tech1 — 10/11/2007 3:01:18 AM (archived)

A planet with as tructure of such size would be well over 99% empty. Despite the 6 billion people on Earth, the planet's surface is still hardly covered at all. Seen in proper perspective ALL of humanity is not larger than a small piece of lint in a large trashbarrel.

But humans do like to huddle together.

    - Let me pause and adjust to the incredible idea that I debate with one who thinks the earth would be perfectly fine if it was covered with a mile-high metroplex. (n/t) - alcaray - 10/11/2007 12:20:19 AM
