Who could imagine a density of 100 MTons/teaspoonful?
No need for science 'fiction'.
Then throw in the centrifugal forces (its gravity must be so large that, -Evidently- even That force can't rip it apart!) Closest we know about, to an Irresistible FORCE <--meets--> Immovable/Unperturbable? OBJECT. No wonder.. primordial fears of Things that Go BUMP in the Night.

Gene Roddenberry? Carl Sagan?
Isaac Asimov? Ray Bradbury?
Just a few guesses. "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow |
