minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink31•9 hours agoLooks to be about 1.5m on each side (based on 1.8m - 30cm). Volume of the cube: 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5 = 3.375m³ Density of tungsten = 19,450kg/m³ Mass of cube: 3.375m³ * 19,450kg/m³ = 65,643.75kg = 65.64375 metric ton Price of tungsten: 6,672.78 USD/metric ton. (Tried to find what I thought was a reputable price) Price of the cube: 65.64375 mt * 6,672.78usd/mt = 438,026.30usd Hope that’s reasonable
minus-square@SkyrmirlinkEnglish5•4 hours agoIt’s reasonable other than the scale. Getting that much tungsten is no problem with half a million dollars. Making it into a cube would be like trying to cut steel with tools made of sharp cheddar cheese.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink15•9 hours agoI believe the cube is a lie. (What TV studio can support 65.644 t on an area of 2.25 m²?)
