The all knowing google.com has a calculator built into it. Let's try some calculations...
Here's the acceleration of a cyclist falling off his bike towards the pavement (in a vacuum): (G * mass of earth) / (radius of earth ^ 2) = 9.8 meters per second squared (that explains the monster bruises)
Google also does theoretical math. i is the mathematical representation of the square root of -1, an imaginary number. Let's take its square root: sqrt( i ) = +/- 0.7071
Google also allows us to do useless math: 2 terabytes / 1 teaspoon = 4.4 x 10^17 bytes per cubic meter. (This seems wrong..)
And we can generate totally useless constants: ((avogadro's number / G) / 16 tons * 10,000 cubic feet / pi)/ 365 days^2 = 2 x 10^19
Now let's do something we can check... the density of the earth: mass of earth / (4/3 * pi * radius of earth^3)
Hmm... off a little bit, but then our theoretical formula assumed earth was a sphere, which it obviously is not.
Google rocks
