If you where to remove all of the empty space from the atoms that make up every human on earth, the entire world population could fit into an apple.
Interesting fact: all atoms of human fit into the size of an apple

Interesting, I had herd that concept but with a sugar cube. Regardless, its still incredible and thanks for sharing. always blows my mind contemplating things like this :)
" You could fit the entire human race in the volume of a sugar cube
http://www.physics.org/featuredetail.asp?id=41
This is because matter is incredibly, mind-bogglingly empty. An atom is like a miniature Solar System, with a tight nucleus playing the role of a Sun orbited by electrons like planets. But the nucleus is incredibly tiny compared with the orbits of the electrons. Tom Stoppard, the playwright, had the best image. He said, if the nucleus is like the altar of St Paul's cathedral, an electron is like a moth in the cathedral, one moment by the altar, the next by the dome. Imagine squeezing all the space out of an atom. Well, if you did that to all the atoms in all the people in the world, you could indeed fit the entire human race in the volume of a sugar cube."

Also, for those interested in diving deeper into concepts like this. Here is a great article. https://hubpages.com/education/The-Earth-Could-Fit-into-an-Apple-Theoretically

A very sobering thought. Interesting, but shows how insignificant we really are.

How does this information lead to that conclusion? How is it relevant to "our" significance?

And if you remove all the empty space of the entire world it would fit in the sun? Maybe earth?

Maybe. Anyway, is interesting. But more interesting is to remember this and see if the scientists think the same in 30 years. In my experience, not.

It is a very interesting post and, indeed, it is known that the space between electrons is enormous, as between planets ... it gives a lot to think about. Excelent topic!!! Congratulations
