Same. And it sounded so silly I could imagine the look of hatred. But this explanation makes more sense.
Yeah, my first thought was "does that just break supersymmetry or something? What happens then?" |

Isn't there a theory that there's only one electron or something?

In the example in from that what if, they are putting a universe's worth of mass in the volume of the moon, so it would create a super massive singularity. That's not what is happening in here. If every atom suddenly gained an electron, they would indeed increase in mass. But a hydrogen atoms would gain the most relative mass as it is the lightest atom, and that would only be an increase of 1/1...
Not quite, xkcd put a moons worth (by mass) of electrons together, so if we add an electron to each atom we go down four to five orders of magnitude. Lets play with those numbers: |

Gotcha. PS: you still have a "melectron" in there :D

That's not Interpretation, that a whole different thing.
I disagree. They asked to add an additional election to all the atoms, not each atom, so the genie could interpret it as adding a single electron to the universe. |

This is the most dangerous piece of sarcasm I've seen today. Some people take it as a personal challenge! Life is definitely too short for that kind of stress.

They're making the electrons gay!
Never met a gay electron. They're always so damn negative. |

It is way too common to confuse the abstractions we use to understand reality with reality itself. Like the scientists who work with this stuff are really consistent in keeping the two separated, but the moment a theory gets in the hands of a journalist or god forbid a politician, it starts wreaking havok
I wish this was true. I remember seeing a physicist talking about how the laws of physics are mathematical in nature and that the laws of physics needed to exist before the universe do the universe is made of math. I don't think the vast majority of physicists have a philosophical grounding for the types of ontological claims they make. Even less so since "shut up and calculate" became the professional axiom. |

I'm really not even a little bit following what you're trying to say. What units are you using? What does the Sagittarius A* have to do with anything? What scale factor are you talking about? Mass? Volume? "Mass of electron cloud equivalent to black hole" what electron cloud? Where are you pulling these numbers? Mass isn't what determines if a singularity forms. Density is. Enough mass has to be formed in small enough volume to form a singularity. Mass more most matter would have to multiply by many many orders of magnitude for a planet to form one. Adding a single election to each atom doesn't do that. Maybe charge can play a factor, but I don't really have any idea how exactly or how significant it is. |

Definitely looks like it. Blocking. Who the fuck is spending tokens on AI slop to comment on Lemmy? |

The first half of my comment is the one that matters, the second half is a sleep deprived Wikipedia binge. The units are kg rounded to the next power if 10. The numbers come from reverse engineering the article and Wikipedia. Sagittarius A* was a the first black hole I could think of. The scale was between mass of electron (like in the article) and mass of an atom (relevant to the post).
An imaginary cloud of electrons similar to the one in the what-if. One that has the energy equivalent of the mass of a black hole. Due to the reduced charge density there would be less energy and therefore black holes, but I am convinced that a lot of objects would collapse. |

How so? Adding an extra electron will increase the repulsion between atoms. Of course each atom may quickly shed the electron as a current. |

no need to go to such lengths, it's enough to add one singular extra electron anywhere to brick the whole universe |

Ha! Tricks on you. There was only ever one electron in the universe anyway. Now they can split the work and get twice as much universe done. |
