| Feb 18, 2018 at 16:22 | comment | added | Eric Towers | @Borgh : "... red blood sediment at the bottom". Thankfully a somewhat neutral word in this context. You missed the "buffy coat" (layer of leukocytes) between the plasma and sediment. | |

Went on a 10 day vacation while it was ~100 F during a July heat wave. Circuit breaker tripped early on. I feel like you can sympathize when I tell you that the biggest problem with the zombie apocalypse is the smell. | |
| Feb 16, 2018 at 14:36 | comment | added | The Square-Cube Law | @CarlKevinson I think you would infer that the blood ocean would be as reflective as coagula, pus and rotten blood from my answer. None of those make for a usable mirror of any kind, if you've ever seen them. | |
| Feb 16, 2018 at 14:20 | comment | added | Carl Kevinson | While interesting, this doesn't attempt to answer the question. What's the etiquette for tangential answers on this stack? | |
| Feb 16, 2018 at 14:17 | comment | added | user33212 | I got really sick reading this | |
| Feb 16, 2018 at 12:45 | comment | added | Scoots | @Renan it's a reality check on the interactions of light with blood by my reading, not how it formed. Technicalities aside though... My eyes completely blanked the tag :) | |
| Feb 16, 2018 at 12:39 | comment | added | The Square-Cube Law | @Scoots I don't think the reality-check tag would apply to an environment that only exists inside a dream or hallucination. One might as well dream that a cloud would be able to support a human like a cushion, or that a human can cover seven leagues per step. | |
| Feb 16, 2018 at 12:35 | comment | added | Scoots | I'd say the easiest way a sea of blood might form is if the subject is currently dreaming or hallucinating | |
| Feb 16, 2018 at 8:40 | comment | added | Borgh | Even if you added a magic anticoagulant and even if you protected the cells from decay the mass would seperate after a while, resulting in a sea of plasma with a thick layer of red blood...cake? at the bottom. | |
