What are you studying at Uni, exactly?

Theoretical physics. Finished now (graduation is tomorrow). Why?

I have a question for you.

It's found here.

And gratz on successful completion of your studies. What do you plan on doing with the degree?

Kell assuming that did happen.
All life on earth would die for a start, theres no light for photosynthesis... good bye oxygen, no heat... hello new ice age.
And as its now a more solid entity, it should have a bigger pull of gravity, so if we're lucky and not get killed by cold or lack of oxygen we'd be pulled to crash into its sugary surface.

I think.

Yep. Although I'm also interested in what sort of physical and chemical processes would be taking place in the core of this gumdrop of doom. There'd definitely be some weird compression effects, maybe slightly similar to late-stage stars that have to start burning iron?

What a bizarre scenario. Razz

First off, as it's the same mass, its gravitational effect on everything outside it won't change, the solar system will not be perturbed. But yeah, with no light everything will die.

The sun, though, will collapse into itself. The sun can only exist at the moment because its radiative pressure from fusion cancels with the gravitational force; without the former, it will collapse into a very much smaller pink gobstopper. But not a black hole - not enough mass for that. Wink

so it'll become something along the lines of a pink-sugary dwarf?

How high would the temperature be at the center, and how many licks would it take to reach said center?

temperature should be... either cooling down from what it was or if it just spontaneously occured pretty damn cold.
And licks? you try and lick the thing in the vacuum of space chances are your tongue will get stuck like to a lamppost.... you'd be fucked ^^
if not... it would take a hell of time getting to the centre, you'd probably have to experiment with them first, see how long it takes you to lick through one then work out how many gumdrops distance it is from surface to centre

Well considering how huge this gumdrop is, it would have to be at least somewhat warm at the center due to all the pressure.

hmm... that means though if it takes time, it should have a liquid centre due to the heat Very Happy

Possibly, yeah. I dunno what the melting point of sugary gelatin is, but it can't be that high.

it has a pretty low melting point, so chances are the further you go, the more runny the interior... unless liquid gelatin has a point where it can turn gaseous, but due to the glucose the thing could be harnessing a hell of a lot of energy.

Good point. Would the glucose and whatnot burn or react chemically somehow to the intense heat and pressure? Proc!!
