1. The first question asks what would happen if the periodic table was made into cube bricks of each element. The summary explains that the top rows could be stacked safely but lower rows would have increasingly dangerous reactions, with the sixth row exploding violently. 2. The second question asks what would happen if the sun suddenly switched off. The summary jokes that benefits would include improved satellite service, but neglects to mention we would all freeze and die. 3. The third question asks if there is enough energy to move the entire human population off-planet. The summary calculates that while moving one person is achievable, moving all 7 billion would tax resources to the limit and possibly destroy the planet, so large-scale

WHAT IF??? I SAY THERE ARE NO STUPID QUESTIONS... 1DR. MAHALINGAM COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY Emmanuel Joseph Noel S, Automobile Third Year.
1. What If??? What would happen if you made a periodic table out of cube-shaped bricks, where each brick was made of the corresponding element? 2
THE HYPOTHETICAL 1 You could stack the top two rows without much trouble. The third row would burn you with fire. The fourth row would kill you with toxic smoke. The fifth row would do all that stuff PLUS give you a mild dose of radiation. The sixth row would explode violently, destroying the building in a cloud of radioactive, poisonous fire and dust. Do not build the seventh row. 3
To Make It Clear 4 The reactions of each rows of the periodic table would be hell
THE WHAT IF??? 5 While collecting things is certainly fun, when it comes to chemical elements, you do not want to collect them all.
2. WHAT IF??? What would happen to the Earth if the Sun suddenly switched off? 6
THE HYPOTHETICAL 2 Improved Satellite Service Better Astronomy Reduced Infrastructure Costs Cheaper Trade Safer Children Safer Combat Pilots 7
THE WHAT IF??? In conclusion, if the Sun went out, we would see a variety of benefits across many areas of our lives. Are there any downsides to this scenario? We would all freeze and die. 8
3. WHAT IF??? Is there enough energy to move the entire current human population off-planet? 9
THE HYPOTHETICAL 3 To launch a 65-kilogram spaceship, we need the energy of around 90 kilograms of fuel Now space ship weighs 155 kgs. A 155-kilogram spaceship requires 215 kilograms of fuel, so we load another 125 kilograms on board . . . Fortunately, were saved from an infinite loop where we add 1.3 kilograms for every 1 kilogram we add. Formula for how much propellant we need to burn to get moving at a given speed 4 gigajoules per person - whether we use rockets or a cannon or a space elevator or a ladder, moving a 65-kilogram person. Four gigajoules times seven billion people gives us 2.81018 joules 10
THE WHAT IF??? 11 So the answer is that while sending one person into space is easy, getting all of us there would tax our resources to the limit and possibly destroy the planet. Its a small step for a man, but a giant leap for mankind.
12 The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.
