While I agree that EE's are FOS, I see a lot of problems putting the entire worlds population in a small space. Its a nifty thought problem! Are you aware of how much heat the human body produces? It would be intolerably miserable at best on the coldest winter day. How you gonna feed em all? And where you gonna grow it? I suspect the answers will be less than yummy. Any idea how much room the life support infrastructure will take? HVAC? Plumbing? Electrical? Chill Water? Steam? Transportation? And trash is deposited where? Will these 6 billion have jobs? Will there be industry? How will this society be powered? Commuting? Is there any allowance for the accumulation of wealth?(Will afluence breed roomier residences?) Do you have to have spare capacity for new and growing families? Taking all this into account, i think we just overflowed Texas a few times. xponent Interesting Questions Maru rob
