  🤔 dear xkcd, how many tacos are needed to form a singularity?

    Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit is around 2-3 solar masses, which means if you had that amount of cold matter and collapsed it, it would form a black hole. Problem is that once you start compressing it, it gets hotter and starts forming all sort of repulsing forces. Then again, it is generally accepted that stars bigger than 20 solar masses collapse into a black hole at the end of their life cycle. We will go with 20 solar masses so we don’t have to fiddle with cold tacos.

    Quick Googling said that tacos weight on average 100 to 230 grams. We will go average of average approach so 170 grams.

    Plugging the numbers in:

    20 Solar masses / 170 grams = 2.339x10^32^ tacos

      233,900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tacos for anyone that can’t read scientific notation

    The mass/energy of the tacos comes from the warp core and did not cause a singularity there. So I think we’re safe on that end.

    However, e.g. on a planet with a distributed energy network, we still might be at risk and xkcd’s wisdom is needed more than ever. Also, for science!

  I'm impressed it isn't Neelix's fault. It seems like something he'd be responsible for.

    Are you familiar with replicators?

  Didnt the ST show have like a ration system to spare energy? Or was that only on Voyager

    I believe there were replicator credits. That being said, tacos are not a bad way to spend your replicator credits.

    • Osa-Eris-Xero512@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Only on planets or where things were resource constrained. On ship or station in normal operation replicators were just generally available for whatever.

  A taco is approximately 6” long, 4” tall and 2” wide. That gives it a volume of ~48 cubic inches. With that many tacos, that gives about 200k cubic feet of taco. That’s a cube about 60 feet on a side. That’s a basketball court covered 43 feet deep. Assuming he’s in a room rather than a huge area, he’ll very quickly be buried alive in tacos. I’m sure he’ll die happy!

    Where the fuck are you getting 6 inch tacos?

      Google? The soft shell ones are pretty long too.

  I’m flabbergasted. 617051 is a prime number. That means it cannot be the result of varying parts of a taco. The comic is illogical, and it’s hard to believe that this is just a coincidence.

    Maybe it’s counting an empty shell.

      That would have been accounted for in the first 3721 combinations. Your comment is illogical. You are irrational. You are hereby persona non grata on Vulcan.

    Limits are for the weak. Build a replicator that can produce all the tacos at once or get out.
