What If You Poured Water On The Sun? |
Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen, the two elements
that fuel the nuclear fusion of the sun.
But more importantly, any additional mass will increase
the weight of the sun.
So the process of pumping water into the sun will crush
the sun tightly and faster than the fusion process.
Which means it will burn more brightly, and will run out
of fuel faster!
As you add water, the sun will enter through strange
stages of fusion.
During one of these phases, called helium flash, the
reaction rate will be proportional to the exponent 40 of its temperature.
This
is probably the largest exponent you might see in a physical equation, but one
way or another the sun will crumble on itself and its outer layers swell. And
turn into a black hole.
Now that the sun has turned into a black hole, you will
find that whenever water is pumped, it will continue to absorb water and
produce X-rays in return, so the resulting black hole will continue to absorb
water forever.
