    Yeah. You know all those is movies and stuff where people sink in lava?

    Nope. It’s too dense. You’d be so buoyant you’d just stay on top.

      I always thought that it just looks like they sink because their bodies are instantly vaporized at the point where they meet the lava.

      I must not watch the right things, I don’t recall ever seeing media of a person sinking in lava. The closest was the Terminator being immersed in molten metal, but he was probably more dense than the molten metal being made of room temperature metal
