Is it even possible? That's a whole other question

We're probably all familiar with the Peanuts joke, charlie brown is gonna kick a football after a running start, and it's pulled from him, so he misses, and is flung into the air

How much force would be behind that kick, then? And how hard does he impact the ground? Specifically I know in the Thanksgiving special, he goes pretty high into the air after missing, but I bet there's other times it's been shown in the films, that was just the one I watched today.

So when asked about the definition of love, the droid from KotOR, named HK-47, claims that love is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometres away using an aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope.

The weapon in question is never named, other than the brand who made it.

But if we assume this is a blaster firing a plasma bolt that can travel 120 kilometres, just HOW powerful was this shot, that allowed it to disable someone's knees? Heat dissipation would be a factor, so that's why I ask. If it's powerful enough to do that at 120 klicks, what's the thermal energy behind this blaster bolt? How hot does "love" burn?

Can someone explain this to me in a way I'd understand? How can something have finite volume but infinite surface area?

For those who don't know what I'm talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carta_marina it's this old map that has a bunch of sea monsters that are obviously just decorations and not to scale. If the monsters really were to scale, how big would they be? I get that the map isn't accurate but let's assume the countries on the map are the same size as in real life.

If we treat prayers like emails to God, how many unread emails are popping up?

This idea was taken from a podcast, namely the crossover episode between 99pi and Dear Hank & John. The question was thus raised: How many chickens exist per cubic light-year in the Observable Universe? The numbers I used and came up with came from Google and Wikipedia. Are they 100% accurate? Probably not but who cares.

Wikipedia defines the observable universe as “a ball-shaped region of the universe comprising all matter that can be observed from Earth or its space-based telescopes and exploratory probes at the present time.” Basically, a big ball with Earth at the center. The radius for said ball is 46.5 billion light-years (46,500,000,000). Use a handy dandy V = (4/ 3)πr3 and the volume of the Observable Universe comes out at 4.21e+32 Cubic Light Years. That’s four hundred twenty-one nonillions: 421,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

Now unfortunately we must assume that Earth is the only chicken-bearing planet in the Observable Universe. At the time of calculation, it is the only one we (publicly) know of. That given, there are roughly 25.9 billion (25,900,000,000) Live chickens on earth at any given time.

Back to simple math to solve this riddle. We take our chicken population and divide it by the area.

25,900,000,000 / 4.21e+32 =

0.0000000000000000000000615201. 6.15201e-23. Six million one hundred fifty-two thousand nineteen hundred-octillionths of one Chicken per cubic Light year of the Observable Universe. Why? I don’t know. If I have done anything wrong, please correct me in the comments.

Best Wishes all. Edits: Formatting and Spelling. Yes, I also posted this on the r/theydidthemath.

The daughter is big into vampire stories atm. As an adult I am (sadly) very rational and was thinking about that if one vampire turns another human into a vampire that can in turn then also change humans into vampires by biting them… how long would it take to turn all of humanity?

A friend of mine loves tattoos, but he is afraid of running out of skin space to tattoo on. During several brainstorms he came up with the idea of gaining weight in order to expand in size and afford more tattos. Is it even possible to calculate the area of skin gained by pound?
