can the weight of millions of balloons be heavy enough to pop the balloons at the bottom?
Like, say you had a grain silo or some theoretical structure that would allow you to fill the structure as high as you wanted, full of balloons, all inflated with regular air, not helium.
Is there a point where the balloons' collective miniscule weight would be enough to pop the balloons on the bottom? Or would they just bounce/float on top of each other forever and ever?
Unscientific answer is yes. Enough weight, the rubber of the balloon has mass, quantiy and gravity would cause the bottom balloons to pop. I figure that the popped balloons have a better chance of smothering you in shards before you could be crushed by inflated balloons... in case that was the next question.
