How Much Of My Water Did Jesus Drink ?

[johnny.5]

what percentage of the water that is in my pint glass of tap water could in theory have passed through Jesus ?

[douglas9401]

More likely to have passed through Jose, johnny, or hose B.

[jackthehat]

I think far more water passed through the Hol(e)y Ghost..... :o)

Am I right?
I'm not wrong!

Assume Jesus lived for 33 years, drinking an average of 4 litres of water per day. This leads to about 50,000 litres in his lifetime. Let's also assume that he never drank the same drop twice, which is probably likely.

The total volume of water on earth is about 1.4*10^21 litres, or 1,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 litres (1.4 billion trillion). Therefore the fraction of water on Earth that Jesus drank is about 4 parts in 10^17, or 40 parts per million trillion.

On the other hand, there are about 3*10^25 molecules of water in a litre. This is large enough that you can simply multiply the two numbers together to find out roughly how many molecules of water in your glass passed through Jesus; the percentage of the glass that is Jesus water is then just the 4*10^(-17)*100, or 0.000000000000004%.

NB all of that is ballpark, and is only used to get a sense of scale. I'm also assuming that Jesus lived long enough ago that the water he drank is spread evenly through the entirety of water on Earth, rather than localised (ie more common in and around Nazareth).

I read somewhere that if you pour a glass of water into the ocean and allow it to mix thoroughly then take a glassful out of the ocean you will have some of your original water molecules in the glass. Atoms & molecules are very small and very numerous.

I thought Jesus turned his water into wine

//0.000000000000004%//

Eeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

So then, how many molecules of poop would a unicorn have produced in a lifetime?

[Canary42]

So, we all end up taking the *** out of Jesus !

Hi Jim
did you get 10 mols?

each breath you take in 10 mols of 02 that Geo Washington breathed

I wont go over the calc - was used in the 60s as a teaching trope

[jim360]

10 mols of O2 is surely more air than you breathe in at a time...

[davebro]

maybe he means molecules not moles?
