The discussion centers on the feasibility of giant humans ranging from 30 to 90 feet tall, questioning whether such size is biologically possible. Key arguments highlight the limitations imposed by the square-cube law, which dictates that as size increases, volume grows faster than surface area, affecting oxygen absorption and overall physiology. Participants emphasize that significant evolutionary changes would be necessary for a human to reach such dimensions, ultimately resulting in a being that would no longer be classified as human. Additionally, claims of historical giant humans are dismissed as lacking scientific evidence, with a consensus that current physiological conditions limit human size. Overall, the conversation concludes that while theoretical scenarios exist, a naturally occurring giant human is implausible under existing biological constraints.

The somebody who claimed it was you. I can quote the post if you want. You must back up that claim or it is worthless - the link with it is not a valid reference. I am challenging it now.

Well, may be this link will be little more reliable to you than the previous link:

Nope, that doesn't cut it.

The only mention of it in the article is the following:
Studies estimate the air speed of a sneeze up to around 85 percent of the speed of sound.

It doesn't back up your claim, only restate it. It has no link to the source materials that make that claim.

In fact, despite the title of the article, it doesn't discuss the speed of a sneeze aside from the above quote. It talks about why sneezes occur and when some people sneeze, moving on to germs spreading.

I suggest you look at the forum guidelines for an idea of what constitutes valid evidence.
