    Yeah no they didn’t. Not unless it’s the world’s smallest neutron star.

    Seriously even if you don’t know a thing about science, all you have to do is look at those numbers and you can intuit that they don’t work.

    That would be a density of over 750 g/cm³, more than 20 times denser than Osmium, the denset known material (outside extreme gravity wells)

    Somebody messed up their arithmetic. Three baby elephants weight roughly 800 lbs. To weigh that much, an object the size of a soda can would have to be composed of extremely dense matter, like from the interior of a star.
