How much do you think a square foot of coffee weighs?
A 20' addition to Redcloud could carry just over 2000 square
feet
of
cargo.

Could you cram 20 pounds into a square foot?

Joe

You cannot cram anything _into_ a square foot. Do you mean
cubic
foot?

If you can't cram anything into a square foot there would be no
such
thing as a square foot full of light. All square feet would be too
dark
to see. So you have made an incorrect statement.

Wilbur Hubbard

No I haven't. You are confusing _into_ and _onto_.
Your beam of light only goes onto a square foot. Nothing can go
into
something that only exists in two dimensions.


Wrong again, Edgar. A square exists in two-dimensions. A photon at
rest
exists also only in two dimensions. It is only when a photon travels
that it exists in three dimensions. A photon in a square is not
traveling. It cannot travel in two dimensions. But it exists.
Therefore
it is IN the square.
I hope this helps.

Wilbur Hubbard


No, you are wrong again by your own words.
The square exists. The photon exists. Both are two dimensional (I'll
take
your word for that about the photon for the purpose of this
discussion).
So as the photon lies there on the square everything is two
dimensional and
there is no volume. So you still have nowhere to park something which
has a
volume.


Now you're side-stepping. You said you can't cram anything _into_ a
square foot.
I said you can. The word _into_ does not have to have three dimensions
to apply. You can put something into a square. As long as what you put
into the square has only two dimensions it will fit into the square. A
square exists and has no volume. Will you not agree that one can put
many small squares into a larger square? Sure, you can. Same thing with
photons of light. They have no volume unless they travel.
