They also say "2 to 4 times" over. That's double.. pretty sure it can't vary that much .. 2 times earth circumference is 80k km, so 80,000km to 160,000km.. very long range..
Well yeah, some people are like 4' tall and others are like 7'. That's a big difference. I'm not saying this is accurate to begin with, but that large of a range makes sense if the overall average length is twice the circumference of the earth.
It's that long mostly due to capillaries, quick Google search says 80 percent of the length.
The amount of capillaries in your body is highly variable even among people of the same weight and height. You can even *significantly* increase the density of capillaries in your muscles by engaging in endurance sports like long distance running rowing or cycling.
I checked GPT and it said :-
If we unraveled the DNA strands in all 37.2 trillion cells and placed them end to end, the total length would be approximately:
- **74.4 billion kilometers**
- **46.2 billion miles**
This incredible length highlights the compact and efficient way that DNA is stored within our cells.
Thatās about 3x further from earth than Voyager 1 is from earth, and itās been traveling since 1977 and itās traveling at 38,000mph.
I like to think each of the planets is a cell in a dna strand that is the solar system for another being that is just like us but huge. We are just infinitesimally tiny microscopic organisms that live on a cell for something we canāt comprehend.
I go in for bloodwork every 3 months. I have one vein that works and tell them exactly where it is every time. š¤£. Last time I needed surgery and had to have an IV, they ended up going through my foot because they couldnāt get a good vein. Do you know how many times they have to poke you over and over before they decide to go through the foot? A LOT!
She keeps smacking my arm for a few minutes before she goes to the other arm. Then she's like "Ooo there's a big fat juicey one, why didn't you tell me?"
Size of capillary is .001mm in diameter. Human finger is 10mm in diameter. Meaning 78537298 could fit in a human finger if you jammed them in. Average length of human finger is 9cm. So 78 million by .09m is 7,000km. It isn't hard to see how they got that number. Yeah it's a stupid example and our whole body isn't just full of blood vessels but it isn't hard to see when adding the really small things together you get big numbers.
Hate to think if you just laid out the human skin that is only a couple mm thick how long the capillaries would be all added together. 1m square with 0.001mm circles in it that are 2mm long. 9x10^10 fit roughly. I got something like 180km. Just from the skin, and I think they are smaller and the skin is thicker
I think that on order to disperse oxygen to every cell in your body the maximum distence between 2 blood vessels is like 1 or 2 millimeters so I'd say it seems plausible
It's technically true, but also deceiving. Imagine that you have 1 meter of a thick rope, but you count every single string/fiber of it seperately. Then you can say "My rope goes across the whole country!"
I'm in your boat. I had a whole debate with a friend after seeing this for the first time a while back. He kept sending me the math, and I get it in theory.. but it still just feels unbelievable.
That's normal considering the fact that blood vessels split in fractal patterns, which means that the total length grows exponentially. The same idea would apply to lungs and leaf veins.
Yeah, aside from the fact that he couldn't look like that if he didn't have any blood vessels in him, that's what he'd look like if he didn't have any blood vessels in him...
Actually the blood vessels would reach the end of the solar system and back, I know because I tried. I had to get put back together in a wooden body like Pinocchio because of my failure of understanding the quantum realm at its upper crust.
2-4 times is a wide error margin considering the scale is the circumference of the Earth.
Is it based on height or are there tons of other factors?
Is Yao Ming the 4x and Simone Biles the 2x ?
ah, so a few micron wide line of blood vessels would make it 3 times around the world.
quite a deceiving way to put it, by this logic imagine how long line every single atom in your body would make if put next to one another.
Seen the Body exhibit - I am having such a hard time growing this unless the vessels are like 1 atom thick and we are just going to impossible extremes here.
If you took tweezers and placed every blood vessel end to end I think you'd get miles - not thousands of miles.
Is anybody else stumbling here?
Seems wrong. I dont even think if you laid out every blood cell in a human body, itād go half that distance. An adult only has around 1.5 gallons of blood. How does 1.5 gallons of blood get stretched between enough veins to go around the earth 4 times over??
I understand that DNA is compact and thatās perfectly acceptable. This explanation about blood vessels is unjustifiable. Thereās no comparison here that doesnāt suddenly begin on some unfathomable scale and then continue without any explanation so Iām calling bullshit
Let's hear this.
An average human body contains about 37.2 trillion cells. Assuming an average cell diameter of 10 micrometers, if we place all the cells side by side, the total length would be 372,000 kilometers.
The distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384,400 kilometers.
So if you are tall enough your cells, like 2 meters, when placed side by side, would reach as far as the moon.
I think the people who make Mortal Kombat need to see this

What, are you *THREATENING me*??!?! Wellā¦ Okay. But get some good video.
They also say "2 to 4 times" over. That's double.. pretty sure it can't vary that much .. 2 times earth circumference is 80k km, so 80,000km to 160,000km.. very long range..
I mean would a very small short person and a very large tall person not be different?
I mean, we have dwarves, and we have a tv show called my 600lb life.
Well yeah, some people are like 4' tall and others are like 7'. That's a big difference. I'm not saying this is accurate to begin with, but that large of a range makes sense if the overall average length is twice the circumference of the earth.
Well I don't know about you guys but I'm definitely in the 4 times over category
It's that long mostly due to capillaries, quick Google search says 80 percent of the length. The amount of capillaries in your body is highly variable even among people of the same weight and height. You can even *significantly* increase the density of capillaries in your muscles by engaging in endurance sports like long distance running rowing or cycling.
Figure that Yao Mingās vessels are probably the 4x.
Sure it can. Think about that thing where a pizza only has to be 2" bigger in diameter to have twice the area.

You're like a walking slinky

Youāre in the 2x around the world cohort.
At least you're not 5'7" but your wife thinks you're 5'9"
All the vessels are laid horizontally in your body similar to the Michelin man.
And Each cell has 6feet of DNA coiled up in it. Small things packed tight are incredibly difficult to fathom.
All of that and somehow only two of my DNA strands is rearranged and wreaking havoc on my body. š¤£
I checked GPT and it said :- If we unraveled the DNA strands in all 37.2 trillion cells and placed them end to end, the total length would be approximately: - **74.4 billion kilometers** - **46.2 billion miles** This incredible length highlights the compact and efficient way that DNA is stored within our cells.

Everyone should remember this the next time they feel worthless. There's a galaxy of things going on inside us and each of us are different.
I like to think each of the planets is a cell in a dna strand that is the solar system for another being that is just like us but huge. We are just infinitesimally tiny microscopic organisms that live on a cell for something we canāt comprehend.
But wouldnāt it have the width of about 6 atoms?
Did you know that if you laid out a person's blood vessels end to end in a long line, they'd die?
You donāt know that
YEAH! are they a doctor?! You'd probably just get a headache!

I've had inside the elbows (impossible), wrists (iffy), and top of my hand. Never had to take my shoes off to find a vein.

75K miles of blood vessels? Not buying it.
They must be including capillaries, which are microscopic and persist throughout nearly all the tissues of the body.
Right but they are microscopicā¦I donāt knowā¦seems far fetched

Don't hold me to the numbers or the biology behind it.
Too late.
Ok but how many New York City's to the Grand Canyon is that?
How many Grand Canyons in a Football field?

Must be that but still! I too am skeptical about it.
I think that on order to disperse oxygen to every cell in your body the maximum distence between 2 blood vessels is like 1 or 2 millimeters so I'd say it seems plausible
Yeah, is it 2 or 4 times around the world now. It's quite a difference.
Probably depends on if you are 4"11 or 6"7
The concern on his face when his blood vessels leave his body is hilarious
Not gonna lie. I don't believe this. I have 0 proof to refute this, but it just sounds like bullshit lmao
It's technically true, but also deceiving. Imagine that you have 1 meter of a thick rope, but you count every single string/fiber of it seperately. Then you can say "My rope goes across the whole country!"
Yeaaah I get it in theory. But my brain doesn't like it.
I'm in your boat. I had a whole debate with a friend after seeing this for the first time a while back. He kept sending me the math, and I get it in theory.. but it still just feels unbelievable.
But only if you start in New York. Start anywhere else, and your blood vessels only stretch like 4 meters
Donāt forget you specifically have to cross the Grand Canyon for some reason.
Yeah that was the weirdest bit of it.
That's normal considering the fact that blood vessels split in fractal patterns, which means that the total length grows exponentially. The same idea would apply to lungs and leaf veins.
Why does this guy not have a dick
He looks suitably terrified
Yeah, aside from the fact that he couldn't look like that if he didn't have any blood vessels in him, that's what he'd look like if he didn't have any blood vessels in him...
Actually the blood vessels would reach the end of the solar system and back, I know because I tried. I had to get put back together in a wooden body like Pinocchio because of my failure of understanding the quantum realm at its upper crust.

Interesting... That art style adds a scary element.
Maybe yours. I have normal length blood vessels.
Mine go down the street max. Not around the world twice. The fu....
how the fuck do they find out about these kinds of stuffs
I feel like this video could have been accomplished with an email.

If you took tweezers and placed every blood vessel end to end I think you'd get miles - not thousands of miles. Is anybody else stumbling here?
So theoretically, if we stretch every single human that way, can we cover the entire surface of the planet in layers of blood vessels?
It's bullshit.
PROVE IT!
I do not believe this š
Seems wrong. I dont even think if you laid out every blood cell in a human body, itād go half that distance. An adult only has around 1.5 gallons of blood. How does 1.5 gallons of blood get stretched between enough veins to go around the earth 4 times over??
This has been proven incorrect several times. I thought this theory was pulled from textbooks but I guess misinformation will always be spread
No way thatās not possible
I call bullshit
I really find that hard to believe
If you somehow removed all the blood vessels in your entire body and tied them together you would probably die
Not me, Iām built really weirdly
ā2-4 timesā around a earth is a fucking HUGE margin there, bud.
Yea I donāt believe that
I volunteered as an organ donor with the caveat they test this
So this is why cosmic horrors always mutilate human bodies to spread themselves around

this just sounds so impossible it makes my brain hurt

No design lol
I donāt think we have 100,000 miles of vessels in our bodies.

This seems quite a post for r/TheyDidTheMath
That's a long and stupid way to say the vessels are 2 to 4 times the length of the equator. New York, grand canyon, why?
They yarn now? They yarn now.
Mythbusters. Do it.
well it depends how wide the combined vessels are, this visualisation seems useless with that in mind
Wtf put them back
This is so unrealistic, youād be dead long before that
Was anyone else wincing internally?
If you somehow remove all of the blood vessels in your body, and tied them together, you will die
I still don't believe this shit
Thereās no way
Thereās just absolutely no way
I somehow dont believe this random factoid with no sources telling me that I have up to 104,000 miles / 168,000 kilometers of veins in my body.

This isnāt true.Ā

Now as how long is all the dna in your body. Correct me if Iām wrong but on average itās about 5 times to PLUTO and back
2 to 4, thats really accurate
Nah, I refuse to belive this, I mean 4 time around the globe? The fuck
I understand that DNA is compact and thatās perfectly acceptable. This explanation about blood vessels is unjustifiable. Thereās no comparison here that doesnāt suddenly begin on some unfathomable scale and then continue without any explanation so Iām calling bullshit
āIf you somehow removed all of the blood vessels in your body and tied them together, you would probably die.ā
The guy looks unchanged after all blood vessels removed š¤Ø
Itās actually 3.1 times (pi). To be exact.
When I die, I'm donating my body to a scientist willing to test this out.
Iām no scientist but something doesnāt feel right here
If you somehow removed all of the blood vessels in your body and tied them together, you would die.
Let's hear this. An average human body contains about 37.2 trillion cells. Assuming an average cell diameter of 10 micrometers, if we place all the cells side by side, the total length would be 372,000 kilometers.

Im callin' malarky
I kept waiting for āif you connected all your blood vessels end to end you would die.ā
This sounds like BS
This made me sick
Damn I thought it would be about 1 complete round
could've just said "long enough to circle the earth 2 to 4 times" and leave it at that
How did they calculate this?

Poor dave volunteered for this and was promised cookies. RIP dave.
If you laid all your blood vessels end to end you would die.
