Social distancing between particles and objects in the Universe (preprint)

The novel coronavirus, dubbed COVID-19, upended our lives may be in irreversible ways during its initial spread throughout the world in March 2020. It forced us all, willingly or unwillingly, to keep social distance from each other to slow down the spread of COVID-19. As scientists, we started speculating what kind of separation is between the constitutes of different objects in the Universe. In this work, we study the "social" distance between elements inside various objects, no matter their size, mass, and nature. We consider things ranging from diamond, baseball to Saturn, asteroid belt or M87 Black Hole, to name a few. We show our results in the form of a fascinating mass/"social" distance plot, where a cool cartoon figure represents each object.
