Is an aircraft carrier made of a material that is less dense than water?
- leeoniya 3y agoonly if you average it out over volume :P
- andrewmutz 3y agoIs an aircraft carrier made of metal and air? Or just metal?
- bee_rider 3y agoWhere’s the distinction between the air that is part of the boat, and the air that is not? If the air is included in the boat, should we all be wearing life vests?
- skeaker 3y agoI think you can safely say that air is a critical component of an aircraft carrier. I suppose the frame of it is not made of air, but the ballasts are designed with air in mind and are certainly made to utilize air. The whole system fails without air, meaning that it requires air to function. It comes down to a definitional argument of the word "made" which is pointless.
- colonwqbang 3y agoI guess it's a purely philosophical question. But no normal person would say "my house is made of air" or "atoms are made of vacuum".
