But at such a congested space between them, chances are that gravity or magnetic fields on them will cause some havoc or the other.

Agreed, hopefully no one does this.

You have to admit it would be one of the coolest ways to go...

I’ve put a warning sign over the big red button so we should be fine.

Oops - too late.

You're such a kidder.

Nobody would be that dastardly.

Surf would be way, way up though

Are you saying someone might?

It's called Cislunar space if you please.

I think gravity would turn the whole earth into a sea of lava, or worse!

Super Jupiter soup. If it could pull in the asteroid belt too, who knows maybe start a red dwarf binary star system. Would be one hell of a ride in any case.

The sun contains 99.86% of the solar system's mass. Jupiter contains .2%. The other gas giants make up the rest, and everything else combined rounds down to zero. You could dump everything from Mercury to the Oort cloud into Jupiter and it's still not enough mass to turn it into a star.

I’ve heard that but would like to see for myself. Don’t forget about dark matter.

Let's hope God doesn't decide to play with their marbles.
