Hey Math/sciencenerds, I got a question. If someone would get heated up to roughly twice the temp of the sun's surface, what'd happen when they walked on the surface of the world (they don't melt or die in this scenario)?
My friend says that it'd cause fusion, while I say that it'd cause the person to sink through the ground towards the center of the planet.

And would there be a way to, hypothetically, angle the power/heat downwards?

They'd float

Jesus, I swear half of /sci/ is retarded 14 y/o asking dumb hypotheticals?

I'm 26, and extremely childish.

well... your hypothetical is still dumb

I know. But it COULD be useful to know, someday. In the far distant future.
Then I will be the one laughing.

/sci/ is 1/2 maths majors, 1/4 children asking people to do their homework, and 1/4 stoners asking questions like this

Let's say you had some sort of superbot that had emissions jets all around it that spewed magical plasma that reached 12000 deg Celsius. Place this robot into our environment. Everthing it touches would be converted to plasma. As it stands on the surface of the world, the plasma below it would essentially form an explosion, and it simply could not remain on the surface for long. It would likely bounce from explosive event upon the surface to another explosive event on the surface. Essentially it would be a bouncing explosion on the Earth. Everything that came near it would be destroyed. The radiant heat from the thing would set stuff on fire from a long distance off, probably up to 2000 meters. The very air around it would 'burn', O2 and N2 dissociating.

But there wouldn't be fusion. Fusion requires much higher temperatures to get going. Like millions of degrees.
