So, as with "my" method, it only works if the antlers naturally float, yes? So, you Place the tank and water on a weigh scale large...

Right. That's what the tank is for. It's a very good (low-tech) way of determining the volume of a highly-irregular object. It is not a...

No. The antlers. Why weigh them in water? Why not just ... weigh them? We must have our wires crossed. In my perception it was you who...

That may sound plausible but is it true? These factors dont scale linearly. Only doing the math will tell you. And you cant do the math...

TIL that the highest peak of the Earth is not Mount Everest, but instead the Chimborazo in Ecuador. Explanation: Earth is not a sphere.

I don't get it. Why not just weigh it directly?

If you weigh them submerged as well as in air with a good electronic scale you could get a precise volume. You'd have to make a jig to...

And note, by the way, that, no matter how pretty that image is, it is (merely) the works of millions of human artists, brought together...

Underwater weighing? Why would one do that? (Actually, in theory, one could do that by measuring the weight of the water displaced by...

I think the biggest problem here (so big you may have to ignore it) involves the vast distances - and variations in distances - between...

No need to attach weight. You finger (attached to your body, presumably) is weight enough. As long as you can submerge the test subject...

Using a tuning fork to measure whether a piano is in tune counts zero photons.

The detergent also breaks the surface tension (meniscus layer) around the lip of the tank, which would otherwise interfere with run-off...

It loosens the bowels of the hapless targets.
