That's akin to saying "I have blood pressure, it's why I have to see the

If that is an insult, fine. Shame it couldn't be based on something that
would illustrate a stinging riposte and not a misunderstanding.

Same weight in a bigger volume (expansion) equals less dense.

Yes. Very.

Follow the thread. Temperature influences expansion. Expansion
influences density. Density influences whether something will float,
depending (of course) on the density of the medium it is meant to float
in.
