Doables:
a <air,mumble,styrofoam,waterrock,lead> scheme
explain mass=nucleon count approximation
interstellar too narrow??
what could be added at low density?
partials- pollen
air at altitude
Klien
region around one
landmarks- styrofoam? 100(Sizesaurus,p132), "all is one",
reference objects
comments on compressibility (or leave for its own page...?)
avoid including /ft^3 /in^3 in scale...? Remove or reexamine.
water column loaded with sediments
Notes:
interstellar (10-18 to -21 in Sizesaurus) (3x10-21 in Brandt)
MilkyWay's disk - from Brandt's
7 x 10^{-21} kg m^{-3} Dynamically inferred Milky Way disk density
In 10^n g/cm^3: 0 h2o, macroscopic on earth basically lt (20g/cm^3),
^2 to ^7 physical properties determined by e- exclusion fluid,
^7 to ^12 by nuclei stuff
^12 to ^15 nuclei, ceasing to bind excess n,
are immersed in neutron exclusion fluid
^15 to ... weird
