That's some confusing logic, and the numbers are dubious as well, but reasonably, if a person's mass were condensed to a certain size, and something of equal density as the condensed person, but with equal size as the uncondensed person, it would have a mass equal to the mass of the original person times the ratio of condensed:uncondensed volumes.
M1d1=v1
M1d2=v2
M2d2=v1
M2=v1/d2, d2=v2/M1
M2=M1v1/v2
Yay, proportionality constants.
Either way, an actual person weighing that makes no fucking sense.
Edit: btw, onamist, are you coming up with those numbers based on space between molecules being gone, space between atoms, electron cloud, nuclear collapse, baryon collapse (lol), or what?
