I proved 1.3 million Earths DON'T fit inside the Sun!

What to study

Expectation Violation

You've probably heard that 1.3 million Earths fit inside the Sun, and the title says that's wrong. The sphere packed with tiny blue beads hints why, since balls leave gaps when you pack them. How many really fit stays hidden.

How the packaging works
Title

'I proved' turns a trivia fact into a challenge Nick has taken on, and DON'T in capitals flags the exact word that flips what you learned.

The question mark after the huge number casts doubt on it, and a real ball of beads turns a fact you can't picture into something you could hold.

Remix this

When a fact everyone in your niche repeats is slightly wrong, build a physical model of it and put the famous number over it with a question mark. Let the title say the fact is wrong.
