packing so much into so little that even light gets lost on the way out
means Tightly packed with matter or, of a person, slow to understand and a bit thick.
from From Latin densus, 'thick, crowded, packed close,' which slipped into English through the late medieval period as a learned borrowing. The same root gives us 'condense' (to pack together) and 'density.' The 'stupid' sense — a person whose head is too packed to let an idea through — is a later figurative twist, the same logic that calls a dim mind 'thick.'
