Avogadro’s Animals: The Physics of a Mole of Moles

What happens when a mathematical constant meets a furry burrowing mammal? In this episode, Boni explores the surreal and catastrophic results of gathering one mole (6.022 times 10^{23}) of moles in a single location. We move beyond the pun and into the terrifying reality of planetary-scale biology, gravitational collapse, and the thermal energy of a mountain of meat. Join us as we calculate the footprint of a mammalian sphere that would dwarf the Moon.
