That’s technically very correct? It didn’t assume it’ll become a black hole or even a neutron star, but still made predictions quite accurately.
But is this true though? Force of gravity does not depend on size of the object. It only depends on mass of two interacting objects. So no mater how you compress the the moon it's mass will still be the same, hence force of gravity will also stay the same? no?
You can get much closer to the center of a soccer ball than you can a moon. And since gravity falls off with the square of distance it's a very significant difference.
A, yes, went and calculated the force for 1 meter distance. 392 tera newtons :O
Now do the tidal forces
I went and asked GPT chat : "does the force of gravity depend on size of the object?"
"The force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the object. The size of the object does not affect the gravitational force. This means that two objects with different sizes but the same mass will experience the same gravitational force. For example, a small ball and a large ball made of the same material would experience the same gravitational force."
Force of gravity does depend on distance between the two objects though
"If the moon was compressed into the size of a soccer ball, would it be dangerous to be close to it ?"
Its answer: "If the moon were compressed into the size of a soccer ball, it would be extremely dangerous to be close to it. The moon is made up of rock and other materials, and if it were compressed into a much smaller size, the resulting density would be much higher. This would cause the moon to become incredibly dense and heavy, with a gravitational pull that would be much stronger than it is currently.
If you were close to a compressed moon that was the size of a soccer ball, the gravitational force would be so strong that it would be impossible for you to escape. You would be pulled towards the moon with such force that you would be crushed by the intense pressure. In addition, the moon would be incredibly hot due to the pressure, so even if you were able to withstand the gravitational force, you would be burned by the intense heat. Overall, it would be extremely dangerous to be close to a compressed moon."
