Refer to this scenario for the following questions:
Lost in Spacetime.Just when you thought it was safe to take final exams ...a vindictive multi-dimensional being reaches down (up? over? through?) to Earth and pulls you out of the universe.You are thrown back into the universe at a place of this being's choosing,and she permits you to leave only after you have identified your surroundings.You are subject to several tests.
Through a scientifically unexplainable miracle,you are able to survive in every one of the places you are tested.(Lest you become too comfortable,however,you certainly are able to feel any associated pain due to high temperature,pressure,gravity,etc. ) In each case described below,identify your surroundings.In some cases,the surroundings described may exist only during eras of the universe (past or future) other than our own time;in those cases,you should identify both the place and the time where you are located.
-You are feeling like spaghetti.Although normally only about 2 meters tall,you are now about 25 meters long.(How fortunate,if painful,that the being has arranged for your body to become elastic enough so that it is not ripped apart under these conditions. ) As you look up over your head,you see things moving pretty quickly in the universe-but that lasts only for a brief instant,and then all contact with the universe is lost.Where are you?
A) You are plunging into the Sun.
B) You are crossing the event horizon of a black hole.
C) You are being consumed by a "crack" in the universe caused by inflation.
D) You are near the center of a star that has just developed an iron core,leading to a supernova.
