I wonder what the minimum volume of a pound of feathers is in relation to density of brick. Can feathers be compressed past the density of brick?

- vikingerik 4y agoWell, yes, if you're talking like white-dwarf star density. Although at that point the matter wouldn't really be identifiable as feathers. Really that's a semantic question as to what is the degree of compression beyond which we wouldn't call it feathers. If you're compressing both, then no, the brick would compress more, since it's higher atomic mass per nucleus on average, minerals like silicon versus organic carbon-oxygen-hydrogen compounds.
