It would fall unimpeded through your body, carve a channel through your gut, come out through your nether regions, and burrow a hole toward the center of the Earth.Then you'd have to worry about confinement. Freeing the sample from its superdense, high-pressure home and bringing it to Earth's relatively low-pressure environment would cause it to expand explosively without proper containment. But if it didn't blow up in your face—or vaporize your face, since the stuff's temperature ranges between 10,000˚ and 100,000˚F—and you somehow got it to your kitchen table, you'd be hard-pressed to feed yourself: A single teaspoon would weigh in excess of five tons. "You'd pop it into your mouth and it would fall unimpeded through your body, carve a channel through your gut, come out through your nether regions, and burrow a hole toward the center of the Earth," Hammergren says. "The good news is that it's not quite dense enough to have a strong enough gravitational field to rip you apart from the inside out."
