    .@CobyG: Saturn is so gaseous, its average density is less than that of water. Anything, for which that is true, will float.

        @neiltyson @CobyG not necessarily. depends on the medium in which the 'floating' occurs.

        @neiltyson @CobyG Will it be acceptable to have the CIA host a yacht party on the planet, then? I mean, what else do we do with our funding?

        @neiltyson @CobyG unless it is soluable in water. But in that case it is no longer part of the problem. #obviouspunchline

        @neiltyson Imagine Saturn introduced into a galactic swimming pool. An awesome gravitational interaction but not floating

        @neiltyson Settle a debate? “Saturn would float in a big enough bathtub” - but wouldn’t the gravity of the huge bathtub drag it “down”?

        @neiltyson how does Saturn's gases stay together vs. floating away...like into outer space?

        @neiltyson but if you put Saturn on the ocean, it's gravity would pull the whole earth in and we'd sink into Saturn. Is that floating?

        @neiltyson @CobyG as long as there is enough water to displace the total weight of the object (I.e. Saturn)
