How old are the baby elephants used to measure this? And which species?
As old as baby elephants, exactly. Same species as baby elephants surprisingly. |

how is that possible, isnt the densest element like 22g/cm^3? i dont know how much 3 baby elephants weight but its definitely more
Must be really small baby elephants |

No. 33cm3 and 350kg would be much better. Shows how American you are if you think baby elephants is better.
I'm not American, and 1ml = 1cm3 so it would be 333cm3. |

It's a sarcastic shitpost. Don't over think it. |

A baby elephant weighs about 90 to 120 kg at birth. So the density would be in the ballpark of almost 1000 g/cm³, while the densest element on earth is osmium at 22.570 g/cm³. Seems odd to me
Maybe it has the same volume as the real Dr. Pepper, but the graphic artist thought they meant a can. Easy mistake! |

Thanks for spelling that out, but maybe I need to be more specific about the assignment. In your example the elephants still consist of elephant matter. I wanna know what happens, if we're allowed to change that on a nuclear level, so shift some protons, neutrons (and whatever other particles, that I know nothing about) around. How many Dr. Pepper cans is the currently known limit of physics here?
Say we change the mass of elephants to osmium. That's 41 liter or 123 cans. That fills up about half of the bottom of a pallet. Say we chuck the elephants into Jupiter and let them sink to the core. That's 27 liter or 80 cans. Roughly 3 cardboard trays of 24 cans each. Say we chuck the elephants into the center of the sun. That's 2 liter or 6 cans, so a six-pack. If you use exotic matter things get silly. You're not talking about cans anymore. 300 kilograms of neutronium is barey a micrometer in size. Black hole matter is smaller than a proton. |

So, before they become toddler elephants. Got it. |

Sorry, I’m having trouble understanding. Could you express that in approximate number of cans of Dr. Pepper?
Say you had a year's* worth of Dr. Pepper supplies jam-packed into a single can of Dr. Pepper. ~*~ ~approximate~ ~values~ ~assuming~ ~3~ ~servings~ ~a~ ~day~ |

Motherfucker, how often do you think we encounter baby elephants?
Often enough to use as a unit of measurement for the mathematically and scientifically illiterate citizens |

Chunk of a neutron star, of course. |

Technically ya just need some neutron degenerate matter, you can get way beyond that density. Yay! |
