I'd Like a Case in Flat Blackhole

You know you’re a geek when…

… you see this image and ask yourself, “gee, I wonder what’s the physical limit for the maximum gravitational energy contained in one gallon of volume?”

You know you’re a raging geek when…

… you compute the mass–energy of a black hole with a Schwarzschild volume of one gallon. (6.5 * 10²⁵ kg, in case you’re wondering.)

You know you need a life when…

… you start to think, “well, damn. How does Superhero Supply manage to pack more mass than is found in all the planets of the Solar System into a single one gallon container?”

You know you need to go to bed when…

… you thwack yourself in the forehead. “Duh! Gravitational collapse!”

I’m going to bed now. :)

Exotic matter cage? Bose-Einstein Condensates?

I got a large hadron just thinking about your gallon of gravitons.

"Okay, you know, I sampled this gravity, and it just doesn't go with our room at all; can I exchange it?"

I wonder if that's what they paint the decks of starships with, to generate artificial gravity?
