gollark: I mean, the atmosphere isn't very dense.
gollark: It *might* be possible to make it somehow, but it wouldn't *weigh* the same as it somehow could on Earth.
gollark: That's not really valid in the context of the entire observable universe.
gollark: *Weight* is mass times acceleration from gravity. The acceleration from gravity is probably going to change wildly across the whole observable universe, but I guess you could sample it at various bits and average it. In any case, that average acceleration probably won't be at the Earth level of 10-ish m/s².
gollark: No it wouldn't.
