Wait, that's the size of a neutron star? I had no idea.

Also, what kind of mad scientist compares things to the mass of the human population compressed down to a sugar cube?

Guess it's an attempt to make it relatable, as if 7 billion itself is easier to wrap your head around. I usually take one cube with my coffee these days, but that would be a nasty ass cup'o joe I bet (pun intended). I might have to take it black from now on :)
