Osmium isn't the densest substance known to humans it's just the densest element

What is the densest substance we can fill the box with?

Your mom (geez guys, did I really have to do that?)

A black hole.

Would densest substance on earth be accurate or are there denser substances like alloys or non-standard crystal configurations of other elements which are denser than pure osmium?

bruh your username 😭😭 respect.

also, surely flerovium and the other mostly-theoretical elements would be denser, no? at least for a couple microseconds until they yeet some protons and fling themselves apart.
