Maybe you should take a basic chemistry class at your local CC and learn about solutions and mixtures.
According to your logic, we should all be dead since nitrogen, which makes up most of our troposphere and is heavier than oxygen, would all sink to the earth's surface, preventing us from obtaining the oxygen our bodies need... but that's not how gaseous solutions and mixtures work.
You just gave me the funniest mental vision of all the chihuahuas in the world suffocating due to the layer of CO2 sitting on the ground...and no worms to eat them, as they would all be dead too. Don't fall asleep on the floor or you'll die.
I too think Vern's "physics" is a little wrong.
