    If every dead person became a ghost, Earth would be a crowded place, with more than 100-billion of 'em, annoying the living.

        @neiltyson I just assumed that since ghosts are immaterial and not subject to gravity, they are probably floating out in space somewhere.

        @neiltyson If every nonhuman murdered for food & other reasons became a ghost, it would be mind-boggling. Trillions upon trillions. #vegan

        Come on @neiltyson, be rational. Not EVERY person who dies becomes a ghost only those who died via arbitrarily nefarious circumstances.
