CHAPTER 4: TONS OF TROUBLE

Have you ever heard the expression, “This thing weighs a ton”? It’s an old saying that means that the thing is really heavy. For example, after the rainstorm, I had so many pets, and they weighed a ton! We all get the idea, but what if all the items on earth just suddenly all weighed a ton? Studies show this would have disastrous effects. The earth would break open, be sucked in toward the sun, and melt. But that’s before we get inside a black hole. The only reason we don’t get affected is that we and all of the life forms on earth would already be utterly crushed. Even the cats can’t stop this one. We have been made to only withstand a normal gravitational force, meaning that the things in our bodies would crush the insides of us. In other words, it would be like going to land on a Jupiter with a surface. If you don’t know what that means, then search it up on google. So in the end, we would all be crushed and be melted corpses in a black hole. This is why we can never let this happen.
