I'm really curious what QM says about this. As I understand it, "density"
doesn't really work that way for elementary particles. Like, in a
"Bose-Einstein Condensate", the "density" of a single particle could be such
that it fills an entire room.
Not that I'm disagreeing with what you're saying. I'm just saying it's one
of those areas where the QM and the GR come together to do something
curious. It's not a big bowl of neurons - it's more a neuron soup. :-)
