  • I’m really not even a little bit following what you’re trying to say. What units are you using? What does the Sagittarius A* have to do with anything? What scale factor are you talking about? Mass? Volume? “Mass of electron cloud equivalent to black hole” what electron cloud? Where are you pulling these numbers?

    Mass isn’t what determines if a singularity forms. Density is. Enough mass has to be formed in small enough volume to form a singularity. Mass more most matter would have to multiply by many many orders of magnitude for a planet to form one. Adding a single election to each atom doesn’t do that.

    Maybe charge can play a factor, but I don’t really have any idea how exactly or how significant it is.


  • In the example in from that what if, they are putting a universe’s worth of mass in the volume of the moon, so it would create a super massive singularity. That’s not what is happening in here.

    If every atom suddenly gained an electron, they would indeed increase in mass. But a hydrogen atoms would gain the most relative mass as it is the lightest atom, and that would only be an increase of 1/1837th of its total mass now, so… not that much. Masses of heavier atoms and the macro level matter made from them would increase in mass even more marginally. It would be a negligible difference, definitely not be enough for a singularity to form from this increase alone unless a star’s core were already riding that edge.

    So their original determination would still be correct, that molecules would fly apart (atomized) and explode outward into the vacuum of space. Now, maaaaybe if the explosive force were enough to cause atoms to collide in space and at relativistic speeds, tiny singularities might form. But their combined negative charge would be far more powerful than their gravitational pull, and they would decay almost immediately, so… no crunch.

    Grain of salt: I love physics, but I’m not a physicist.






  • You know how when you put magnet faces together with the same polarity, they push against each other. If you squeeze them together they will pop away. When an atom has an extra electron, it makes its charge more negative. If all of the atoms have extra electrons, all of their charges will be more negative. Now imagine every single atom in the universe was suddenly the same polarity and began pushing all other atoms away. I’ll let your imagination take over from there.



  • At one point in time advertisements were in dedicated sections of newspapers, magazines, posted in business windows and maaaaybe sent out in mailors. And that was about it. If you didn’t want to be advertised to you didn’t read the ads. When TV broadcasts first started there was an dilemma over whether people would tolerate TV commercial breaks, and whether they were even ethical since you couldn’t just turn the page if you didn’t want to read the ad. We’re light-years beyond that mindset and level of consumer respect now. Ads that try to appear to be anything but ads, individually targeted ads, unskippable ads on CPR instructional videos, ads in search results, ads on floating billboards among the beach, ads on your refrigerator, ads on your personal tablet or laptop, ads on the damn gas pump… it’s fucking dystopian.





  • For the emotionally stunted, let’s give an example

    Imagine you were really excited about this food your were going to make. It’s your favorite recipe, no one can make it like you, and it takes literal days of work to prepare (there’s dough to proof, fermentation, a bunch of things that take a lot of time to come together). You put all this time and effort and sweat and pain into making it. Your hands cramp from kneading dough, your back hurts from bending over the counter chopping veggies, and you’re mentally and physically exhausted after a while. But you know it’s all worth it because you will get to eat the best food, you’ll have made it yourself, and you’ll have leftovers to last you as long as it took to make. The whole time you are just thinking about the potential of this meal that you’re working hard to make, and you can’t wait for the time to arrive when all your work pays off and you get to eat your favorite food.

    Now imagine, you’re almost done with the process, and then something goes wrong. You find out the milk in your recipe had gone off and made the entire thing inedible, for example. Now all that days of work, all the labor and pain and anticipation was for nothing. Not to mention, the bites you took while making the food have now given you food poisoning, so you’re sick because of it too.

    Yes, you could buy more groceries and, once you’re no longer sick, start over and try again. After all, you still want this food. But, imagine how emotionally draining that would be. Imagine your disappointment and sadness at the loss of the food and the wasted time and effort and money.

    Now… take that sadness and disappointment and multiply it by the amount of sadness you’d feel at the loss of an immediate family member you loved dearly. That’s the kind of emotional devastation we’re talking about here.
