Oh, yeah, one more thing.  With regard to Demon with a Glass Hand, you
could -- theoretically -- reduce the entire present-day human race to
the size of a sugar cube, because atoms are mostly empty space.  The
cube, however, would weigh five billion tons.

The population of far-future Earth in Demon with a Glass Hand is 70
billion, so multiply the above weights and measures by ten.  Trent
might have a little trouble moving around, or not sinking to the
Earth's core.
