According to four graduate students, Noah’s ark could in theory float. The ark being 300 by 50 cubits long and being made of gopher wood. The question is now how could he fit two of every animal in the world in there AND make it still float? The boat had to have the same amount of force on the ocean as the weight of the water it displays. The students thought about it and tried looking for the mass. The students started made a math problem. Where they subtracted the mass and found Noah’s ark…
