It's crazy to imagine but at 22.59 grams per cubic centimetre, 28316.847 cubic centimetres being equivalent to one cubic foot, that means that a 1 foot X 1 foot cube of pure Osmium would weigh 639658.44 grams which is equivalent to 1410.205 pounds. Another quick fact, while Osmium is the densest of all elements, Tungsten actually has the highest melting point at 3,422 °C and highest boiling point at 5,930 °C.
Almost correct but rhenium has the highest boiling point with 5627 °C and tungsten is at about 5555 °C but it does have the highest melting point, that's correct.
@@RedPiratesOfficialBut I see where you get those numbers from, in the internet it sometimes gives random numbers. It even sais that osmium is the rarest element sometimes. Also something interesting to add is that apparently after Brinell, osmium has the highest hardness of all pure metals but after Mohs, chrome does. Tungsten though out competes all of them and comes very close to diamond if mixed with carbon to tungsten carbide. 🧐
The tungsten cube cured my mortality, the osmium cube moved me to a level beyond the comprehension of immortal beings, I am now creating universes with properties previously undefined by the gods, I wouldn't reccomend the cube to most people as they wouldn't understand the complexity in its intensity of its density, as it's veracity will consume all mortals without the knowledge of its novelties of its properties
I've always wanted to buy this exact cube of osmium, since it's my favourite element. But then I found out that it's actually the rarest and thus most valuable metal on earth. This amount of gold would be a true bargain in comparison, fml...
@@icyycold515not recommended because it already formed a thin layer of oxide on the surface. As far as I know it can also be absorbed through the skin,so holding it with bare hands is a bad idea too
Humans should make a super dense object using a certain material and a hydraulic press. I can't find anything like that on RU-vid or I'm just not using the right keywords.
@@Shonade_Malik your comment is so stupid, and isn't practical at all. go touch grass or read a book. if you could just compress a bunch of osmium to a certain point where its denser, osmium wouldn't be the densest thing. theres a certain point where the hydraulic press breaks. idiot
