Some light fun with a heavy subject

I came up with some rough estimates of the following scenario:

Imagine a neutronium ball 1 inch in diameter sitting on a small, very special table that's able to contain it. This small ball of neutron star matter would have a surface gravity of about 53,000 earth g's.

You start approaching it. 10 feet (3 meters) from the ball the gravitational pull would be nearly 1 earth g's and you'd need to hold on to something to keep from sliding further.

Then you carefully get closer and reach for it. 1 foot from the ball the pull would be about 93 earth g's and you might have just enough strength to pull your hand away, but if you slip it's all over and you suddenly become part of that small ball.

you can thank your lucky stars that there is a lot of space in space
I read somewhere that if all the particles in the universe were evenly distributed that there would only be about three particles per cubic meter of space

Is it possible to throw this neutronium ball at liberals? 🤔

@C-I-V
No but maybe we could arrange for you to swallow a pill sized version of that stuff.

Well you could get that stuff in that sci fi book, called anti gravity paint....

@sonhouse
The kids scifi book was called Danny Dunn and the antigravity paint.
