@Alfred If you took all the blood vessels from the human body how many times could you wrap them around the Earth?

@MrGoat There are approximately 100,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body. If we were to take all these blood vessels and lay them end to end, they would wrap around the Earth multiple times. The circumference of the Earth at the equator is approximately 24,901 miles. So, if we divide the total length of blood vessels (100,000 miles) by the circumference of the Earth, we get: 100,000 miles / 24,901 miles ≈ 4 times Therefore, you could wrap the blood vessels from a human body around the Earth approximately 4 times.

@MrGoat @Alfred and how quickly do you need to move to do it before they decompose

@Alfred what is the decomposition rate of blood vessels outside the body?

@MrGoat The decomposition rate of blood vessels outside the body can vary depending on environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and presence of microorganisms. In general, blood vessels are composed of connective tissue primarily made up of collagen, which is a relatively stable protein. Therefore, blood vessels may decompose at a slower rate compared to other tissues or organs. In a controlled laboratory setting, where external factors are minimized, blood vessels may take weeks to months to decompose completely. However, in the natural environment, decomposition rates can be influenced by various factors and may be faster due to bacterial activity, exposure to oxygen and moisture, and other environmental conditions. It's important to note that specific studies on the decomposition rate of blood vessels outside the body may be limited, as research often focuses on decomposition of entire organisms or specific tissues rather than isolated blood vessels.

@MrGoat @Alfred reckon it's better to do a polar circumference so it's not all tropical climes
