· Everything would then be crowded together in a state of infinite density: the end of the universe.· Would it collapse to infinite density?· The universe might then have re-expanded without going through a state of infinite density.· The work that Penrose and I did showed that they would continue to collapse until they reached a singularity of infinite density.
· On an equal mass comparison, this further favours the composites because their low densities allow much greater panel thickness.· The City proper now constitutes nearly two-thirds of the metropolitan population and maintains a low density among cities of comparable population.· Continental lithosphere stands higher than oceanic lithosphere because continental crust is both of greater thickness and lower density than oceanic crust.· But one can not simply associate high lexical density with writing, and low lexical density with speaking.· That is due not just to its comparatively high transport costs but to its low density.· The good stiffness, combined with low density, means that wood is very efficient in beams and columns.· The concept had greater effect upon the building of suburbs, which became leafier and of lower building density than before.· The most obvious differences are the lower density and thermal conductivity of plastics compared with glass.
· We are concerned with the predominantly horizontal mean flow of a fluid whose mean density varies vertically.· Oceanic lithosphere has a mean density rather close to that of the immediately underlying asthenosphere.· The mean density of Mercury indicates that its interior is substantially different from the interiors of the other terrestrial planets.
