Wouldnt that much icecream would have so much mass it would form some kind of icecream blackhole? A cubic lightyear of blackhole-density icrecream seems like it would be (infinitely?) more than what Wolfram Alpha calculated.
I wouldnt even know where to start calculating that, but im pretty sure its not a simple dimensional analysis problem - so maybe the ChatGPT answer is less misleading than the wolfram one in this case..
Maybe (hopefully!) randall munroe (xkcd) will calculate it for his next book :)
Can anyone recommend a book for me to get some basic knowledge of this sort of stuff?
- rpdillon 4y agoI got a copy of 'What if? 2' from my son over the holidays. The first chapter considers the question of what would happen if we filled the solar system out to Jupiter with soup. As you suspected, it does indeed create a black hole. Interestingly, if the soup were tomato, that amount of soup would contain more energy than the sun has put out over its entire lifetime. I imagine ice cream would be quite a bit worse.

- virgildotcodes 4y agoThis really puts into perspective how little mass there is relative to the size of the observable universe.
