If the Traveler was indeed that massive, we'd see a drastic change in local gravity fields. Such as...
Tidal cycles
Lunar orbit
People walking on the surface of the traveler
People not being able to walk around in the City without being pulled towards the traveler.
Localized time distortion (gotta love relativity)
There would be plenty of other effects.
I think the premise of your calculations are sound; get the volume, assume hollow sphere, multiply by assumed density. But one or more assumptions must be off; density may be off, the wall thickness may be off, or the assumed radius may be off.
Electroweak material is Bungie trying to combine two of the fundamental forces, electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces.

Actually, gravity may not work the same for the Traveler. You'll realize that all the inner planets now have the same gravitational pull. That means that some alteration occurred when the Traveler made Luna, Mercury, Venus, and Mars habitable. What I can assume is that the basic concept of more mass = more gravity may not apply in destiny. Plus, he made a rough assumption on some of the materials so the margin for error is drastically increased. Point is the Traveler may be close to 300,000 times more massive than Earth but may only exert a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of that gravitational power. Even if the Traveler lacks that capacity, what's to say she's not using another force to counteract gravity. That's the entire premise of a star. High grade fusion could be occurring that powers the Traveler (would be enough energy) and it is used to warp the basic laws of physics as we understand them. There's too many variables to contemplate. If what you said is true and there is no change in the laws, the Traveler should be close to the density of a singularity by now. And the actual size of the Traveler isn't proportional to the law of celestial bodies taking spherical shapes. And the Traveler would have crushed both U.S. and even make the Sun groan and probably collapse

I'm only going off of conventional knowledge. Sure any of that is possible, but I guess we'll never know for sure until destiny y10 comes out. :/

Truuuue

Trueeee

Maybe, as a once living entity, it can create special fields around it to help prevent that from happening? With all the other theories about time travel and the like, it stands to reason it might have been to other places before. Maybe it learned from past experiences that it needed to create something like that.

Yeah, something like the mass effect fields from the Mass Effect trilogy? Definitely possible.
-
Yes, pretty much like that. And who says video games don't educate.

Yo ur comment is

I meant to say is so true lol but wouldn't that mean the traveler is either way lighter or it cancels its own gravity

Got it.
