If I took all my atoms and squashed them together in one lump How big would I be?

Question

Ignore the laws of physics so the atoms don't vibrate

Answer 1

I think I know what you're asking here.

The size of an atom is difficult to determine as the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus is fuzzy rather than clearly defined. However, if we take a hydrogen atom as a typical size atom, then the "size" (diameter across the electron field) is in a ratio of 100000 : 1 against the diameter of the nucleus.

If we assume that you are 1.8 metres tall then, by "squashing" your atoms (ie. removing the electrons) you would become 0.018 of a millimetre tall.

Your mass, of course, would stay pretty much the same so, although you are minute, you would still be the same weight you are now.

Answer 2

As big as you are now just in a lump because your changing your body the atoms would remain the same configuration
like play doe it you change the shape of it it doesn't lose or gain any size unless you change the mass by removing a part of it its over all size and weigh would remain the same and the relative size would be the same just in a different configuration

Answer 3

Minus the water which is over 90% of your mass the dry matter would be less then a cup not squashed but lumped together.
Unless you have some pressure reference to squash the atoms you would get varying sizes.

Answer 4

One of the examples given in my physics book was this:
If you look at an atom in the conventional way--a nucleus with protons and neutrons inside with the electrons encircling the nucleus, there is dead space between all of these little things. There is just empty space where there is nothing. If you took all of the space out of all of the atoms of planet earth, it would be the size of a golf ball but it would weigh the same. You'd be pretty small.

Answer 5

If you took your mass, and all the atoms in your body and compressed them into a taurus, you would be a singularity, both physicaly and mathematicaly. However their are still mathematicians and physicists who doubt the existence of mathematical or physical singularities, so you could just be abunch of atoms subject to entropy and eventualy fall apart at the seams.

Answer 6

Far too small to see. This matter, called nuclear matter, happens when all the electron orbitals are squished into the nucleus, and the result is a compression of 15 orders of magnitude in volume.

Answer 7

The same size you are now - you can't squish your atoms together any smaller than they are in your body now.

Answer 8

You would no longer be matter, you would be energy. To work out how much energy you would be, use E=mc^2.

Answer 9

You would be higher in density and lower in velocity.

Answer 10

YOU WOULD BE THE SAME SIZE AS YOU ARE NOW!
