   Oh, yeah, one more thing.  With regard to Demon with a Glass Hand, you   
   could -- theoretically -- reduce the entire present-day human race to   
   the size of a sugar cube, because atoms are mostly empty space.  The   
   cube, however, would weigh five billion tons.   
      
   The population of far-future Earth in Demon with a Glass Hand is 70   
   billion, so multiply the above weights and measures by ten.  Trent   
   might have a little trouble moving around, or not sinking to the   
   Earth's core.
