awesome

What if we already live in a sugar cube that is waiting to be used by a much larger lifeforce?

Interesting as fuck, imagine tasting that sugar cube though...

Mmm yea taste that cube.

It would be heavy, drinking your coffee, with two cubes of humanity.

A black hole sugar cube.

not even close. with that mass, it'd have to be about 1/2 the size of an electron. (source: http://www.wolframalpha.com/ )

Would the cube's gravity smush that atoms closer together? Or is there a minimum amount of mass needed for black hole?

as far as i know (not a physicist) there wouldn't be nearly enough pressure. neutron stars are of similar density, and far larger.

Yeah, I wondered if "artificially" putting that mass into sugar cube size would cause it to remain that way, shrink, or to blow itself apart

personally, i'd guess that it'd blow itself apart, but (as i said) i'm not a physicist

I'm more concerned about what would happen with all that mass concentrated in such a small space.

I just did some rough calculations and it would be around 4 times more dense than a neutron star.

i'm curious what numbers you used/their source (i'm getting anywhere from 3 to 1/8)

Human mass from wikipedia. Probably not 100% accurate that's why I said around 4.

about the same accuracy as mine. I used average human weight from wolfram alpha
