A black hole with the mass of the sun would have a Schwarzschild radius of 2.95 km. So it would take some significant revisions to theory to accommodate a grapefruit-sized object with that mass. Perhaps if it's digested by a squirrel, it gets smaller? [[User:BunsenH|BunsenH]] ([[User talk:BunsenH|talk]]) 03:32, 9 December 2025 (UTC)<br />

: Not terribly impressed with the science chops of these "unifiers" if they can't work out what's gonna happen here. Hint: it's no happy dance for the squirrel. [[Special:Contributions/2605:59C8:160:DB08:CDB6:FE7F:1FC9:524|2605:59C8:160:DB08:CDB6:FE7F:1FC9:524]] 16:28, 9 December 2025 (UTC)<br />

''Eastern Gray Squirrel.... measures 16-20 inches (approx. 40-50 centimeters) .... would be too big for Hyperacute Interdynamics (10-30cm (~4"-12")) to apply.'' Clearly a squirrel's tail can be neglected (see: '''spherical cow theory'''), being a very skinny (even rat-like) whip with bulky but insignificant fritz. ''The '''head and body length''' is from 23 to 30 cm (9.1 to 11.8 in)'' -- Wikipedia ---- Also, a bit north of Randall's place, we have lots of "Red Squirrels" which are significantly smaller than East Gray tree-rats. ''"Red squirrels are much smaller than greys and measure about 35centimetres including their tails and grow to around 350grams."'' - (YouTube) Our locals say "chipmunk" but I knew chipmunks from Sequoya Nat Park and these aint them. --[[User:PRR|PRR]] ([[User talk:PRR|talk]]) 06:45, 9 December 2025 (UTC)<br />
:I'm from Randall's area and we always called chipmunks chipmunks. Yes, we heard of red squirrels, but only saw gray squirrels and chipmunks. Massachusetts has a population with steadfast opinions.
