Blueberry Earth

TL;DR

This paper investigates the hypothetical scenario of replacing Earth with a massive blueberry structure, analyzing the physical consequences and comparing it to small ocean-world exoplanets using elementary physics.

Contribution

It provides a rigorous physics-based exploration of an absurd hypothetical, offering insights into planetary composition and behavior.

Findings

The blueberry Earth would resemble a small ocean-world exoplanet.

Elementary physics can model the consequences of such a hypothetical scenario.

The study offers a novel perspective on planetary physics and composition.

Abstract

This paper explores the physics of the what-if question "what if the entire Earth was instantaneously replaced with an equal volume of closely packed, but uncompressed blueberries?" While the assumption may be absurd, the consequences can be explored rigorously using elementary physics. The result is not entirely dissimilar to a small ocean-world exoplanet.
