Has anyone climbed it?!🤔

Just dusting off my climbing decathlon climbing shoes....🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ever had spotted dick?

The 'Bakewell Pudding' was created by accident when a cook misunderstood the recipe for a fruit tart.

Rat's can't vomit.

Rat's can't vomit.

That probably makes them easy to poison.

They eat small amounts of strange foods and if it doesn't make them ill they eat more the next time.

There's a 100km diameter Pulsar that's spinning 716 times a second. That means the surface is moving at 24% the speed of light.

At the equator, you would experience 72,900,000,000 g
1kg on Earth weighs 33.18 billion kg on that pulsar.

I know nothing about pulsars. But my question is. What is stopping it from disintegrating and flinging itself apart?

I just watched an old Fred Dibnah documentary on BBC. He said that a miner died every six hours in British coal mining between 1868 and 1914.
Shocking if even 50% accurate.

Gravity between the particles that make it up.

Yup, like a Shadow Cabinet, they're incredibly dense.

Lets get the pedantry out of the way first. 1kg on earth is 1kg everywhere (unless it's going really, really fast) as it is a measure of mass. Weight is measured in Newtons.

Anyway, did you mean a circumference of 100km? This would line up with the rest of the facts. The maximum radius for a 2 solar mass neutron star would be 16km. If it was 50km, that would put the mass well over the point where it would collapse into a black hole.

I read it on t'internet. Must be true

Some French chap has cycled - well bunny hopped - up the Eiffel tower staircases all the way to the top in about 12 and half minutes.

 

[Oldhippy]

Why?

 

[T4tomo]

Why?

ostensibly because no-one else has done it that quickly, but I did ask myself the same question.
