The result of 650x assumes they’re all brand new, since wrinkles in used bills will introduce some air pockets. That probably doesn’t make much of a difference in a stack that’s a billion bills tall, though. A million bills weighs about a ton, so the bottom 999 million bills have at least one ton of force squishing them down. There might be other weird effects of bills near the bottom of the stack getting crushed and deformed further, but materials science is outside my wheelhouse. Did the people who wrote these lyrics consider the finer scientific details? I doubt it. Did they use a bundle of used bills to get their measurements? Possibly, and that could explain how they got 800x, but even then, 800x is still not too far off from the “ideal” answer in terms of orders of magnitude, and “eight hundred” has a nice lyrical flow to it, so I’m inclined to forgive them.
Wow we got two videos today🎉. I heard similar video where if we fold a single paper (I forgot how many times) the height reach out atmosphere and if we fold it further (I again forgot how many times😅) then it reach the edge of observable universe.
That's a good one! Part of the problem is gravity is weaker in space, and another part is that astronauts are in constant free fall around the earth, so their bodies can't experience that resistance on Earth needed to keep reinforcing their bones. They have treadmills to strap down to, but that only slows the decline.

What a nerdy thing to think but i like it 😂
We got 2 videos in 1 day 😀
we did?
what if the thickness of the dollar was different back in those days
It was. The size was bigger back then, can't find info about thickness though.
@@wakkiwaldoThis cartoon is from 1967, and our current bill size dates back to 1929.
@@lingomaniac88apparently it was changed in 1971
It used to be 0.00013 and now it's 0.00011
0:28 or maybe the dollar back then were a bit thicker back then
Does that much paper currency exist?
We US is printing so much money, driving up inflation, and funding proxy wars
There are more than 10 billion 1 dollar bills in circulation 😲
Check any big companies earnings within like the past year I'm pretty sure there is a good couple billion
that would create deflation😂
Love hearing you explain things. Would love if you did longer videos!!
All my mony put together can't even cover my palm

I seen that as well. Still don't see how lol
Looking at the video you can see the bills are bent which would leave a gap and also have a paper wrapping
Can you make a video on why astronaut's bone density decreases rapidly in space 🚀🌌 please 🙏

@@WereWadethanks 🙏buddy 😊
Love the Garfield
Was money thicker back then?
The way you say "accurate" and "thousand "
That's one costly conclusion
Song?
aren't you a physicist? if it's within an order of magnitude, it's correct! :p
(can you tell an engineer wrote this comment)
Wait, metric system?
Always 😏
But the bills might bend and leave a gap
0:06 clck
Wait, if a billion dollars laid end to end is 150 thousand km, then a trillion dollars would reach the sun
Measuring thickness of a single bill is not a good idea. How flat or worn they are, is weight applied or not, what year they were printed?
❤❤❤ they're lied conseal you from us
