That thing about pouring water on the sun seems wrong. The water would never make it to the surface. It would vaporize at those temperatures the probably less than nanosecond it leaves the container.

I guess the vapour wouldn't escape the sun's gravity though, and thus be drawn in.

The water would vaporize in the container as there is no pressure on top of the bucket because it's in space.

The bucket would also implode under the weight of it's own gravity, but, you know, details.

Who even made this bucket? This bucket is the size of the sun! The amount of raw material required is absurd!

Edit: Wait. Would it though? It doesn't have a core. It has a center of mass, but that center of mass is in empty space in the bucket's void. Doesn't seem like there's material there to generate a gravitational force.

Edit2: If the force of gravity is F=G*m1*m2/r^2 and we solve this for each particle then, yeah. It would have to collapse into a sphere because each particle would be attracted to each and every other particle by their masses.

It's a bucket large enough to contain water of the volume of the sun. It would totes have non-negligible gravity.

Also the fact that you're not going to need a whole lot of force to collapse that structure - the tensile strength you'd need for our space bucket exceeds any known material by many orders of magnitude.

Not if you put the water on the outside and used it to gravity feed water jets pointing inwards to keep the bucket shape...

Well that's just ridiculous!

I think the "bucket" could have fairly negligible weight if we think of it more as a balloon than a bucket. I don't think you would need particularly high tensile strength to keep the water sufficiently pressurized that it would not flash boil at low temperature. Even "dumping" the bucket isn't an issue if we think of it more like squeezing a capri-sun.

The problem comes when you try to move it anywhere near the sun. There isn't much of anything of a scale smaller than the sun itself that can survive spending much time very near the sun. Once you get something within "dumping" distance of the sun, either one of them (the sun or the object) pretty much absorbs the other without changing too much, or they both absorb each other destroying both of them and leaving you with something new made up of the parts of the two. The second possibility is what happens if you magically (teleportation? some kind of portal gun fired at a solar probe? a bucket made of unobtanium?) get a volume of water equal to the volume of the sun close to the sun.

When the sun's underwater does it get wet, or does the water get sun instead?

The bucket is magic so you know...all this talk is invalid so there!

Also the creature became immediately stuck sixty feet in the ground because the soil could not sustain the pressure exerted by each foot.

Wonder Twin powers activate!

Also considering you'd not need a bucket, the water would just be a sphere the size of the sun and cause all sorts of gravity havoc right? The science and science fiction part of my brain is really fighting this out right now. Should have finished one of those engineering routes instead of economics. I can tell you how the value of things would change due to economic disruptions due to a planet of water the size of the sun screwing with Earth, the Sun, et al.

This conversation reminds me about the answer to this question:

"What would happen if you were to gather a mole (unit of measurement) of moles (the small furry critter) in one place?"

So who's gonna load this up into Universe Sandbox and settle the argument?

So are we saying that space is an issue?

I think I just heard Eleima having an aneurysm.

I don't get it. Can someone please explain (and thus ruin) the dad joke here?

Nope, but now that I can google that, I understand.

Could we not just get an extremely powerful water mage to summon a hollow sphere of water around the sun?
