:Nope… the Schwarzchild radius is 0.35", which is indeed 7/20", but the measurement shown on the globe is the diameter, not the radius, so 7/10" is correct.

- Sorry.
- I now realize that that was an extremely trollish thing to do. ٠ـ٠
I believe he indicates that a globe is made by making a copy of the Earth, and then compressing it until it fits on a desktop. Hence having the same mass and thus the same Schwarzschild radius as Earth. I have changed the explanation a bit because of this observation.--Kynde (talk) 05:42, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
Gotta wonder what kind of a desk could support a desktop globe that weighs as much as the Earth --StumbleRunner
Radius. Is there a typo in the comic where 7/10" should be 7/20", i.e., 0.35" as later written? Or would a 7/10" Earth collapse into a black hole nonetheless?172.71.154.129 06:40, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Nope… the Schwarzchild radius is 0.35", which is indeed 7/20", but the measurement shown on the globe is the diameter, not the radius, so 7/10" is correct. 172.71.178.143 06:49, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
