Pool party on the sun
If the Sun’s stellar remnant were slowly losing mass (via proton decay) and reached a point where its surface gravity was exactly 1g (9.81 m/s²) , let’s carefully explore what this would look like and feel like: ① Calculating the Size and Conditions: ② Properties of this Stellar Remnant: Physical Dimensions: • Radius: ~10,000 km (about 1.57 times Earth’s radius) • Diameter: ~20,000 km (compared to Earth’s ~12,742 km) • Surface area: Larger than Earth, about 2.46 times Earth’s area. Composition and Surface Conditions: • Almost entirely crystalline carbon (essentially a planet-sized diamond ). • Surface temperature extremely low, close to absolute zero (~a few degrees Kelvin above absolute zero), because all residual heat would have dissipated long ago. • Completely dark, reflecting no visible sunlight (as no nearby stars or illumination sources would likely remain by this point). ③ Surface Conditions (What it Would Feel Like): ...
