order the objects in the solar system by decreasing mass. what is the mass of object number N, where N is human population (currently 8.2 billion)?
at what N do things become messy, for example, the precise definition of the extent of an object affects its place in line (e.g., atmospheres, aggregates of rocks and ice so loosely gravitationally bound that there might be gaps between them)?
sort similarly the objects in the Milky Way galaxy. currently, everyone gets a star, provocatively presuming that we are space-faring and the only ones space-faring.
inspired by Gaila's Moon.
