I think the interesting take-away from this exercise is to even ROUGHLY come up with something that the average person can visualize about the population of the Earth.
In some respects, if we all CAN fit into 1/2 mile cube. Or even a mile, or two mile cube, it's NOT THAT LARGE A SPACE. Granted, unlivable, sure. But kinda puny, imo.
