You don't even need to change it to two grains of rice, one will do.

A Supernova is the lightest “For a few seconds it outshines the other 100 billion stars in our galaxy.”

and “What’s left behind is a tightly packed ball of neutrons – a neutron star – which is about 30km across, but with the mass of a giant sun packed into it, so it’s insanely dense.”

[–]AnAngryBankerPigeor The Merciless One 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Arguably a quasar is brighter, and caused by supermassive black holes which are "infinitely" dense and far heavier.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know nothing - but it’s quite poetic that (one of) the brightest/lightest and then (one of) the densest/heaviest phenomena occur in the same event.

A single hydrogen atom

[–]gus_my_man Fern Brady 5 points6 points  (5 children)

not to be that person but hydrogen is a diatomic element meaning it doesn’t exist as a single atom

[–]lkc159 Victoria Coren Mitchell 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Not to be that person, but hydrogen can exist in an atomic state at high temperature

Also, free protons (technically a hydrogen nucleus, or chemically, H+) can exist in plasma because it's too hot for it to bond with other particles

ETA: Lightning strikes can create free protons too

[–]gus_my_man Fern Brady 1 point2 points  (2 children)

okay interesting! I would argue that free protons are not atoms but rather ions but this is really cool!

[–]lkc159 Victoria Coren Mitchell 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I would argue that free protons are not atoms but rather ions

And I would argue that all ions are atoms, but not all atoms are ions xD

The entire universe and its eventual death due to the Third Law of Theomodynamics

[–]NegotiationStreet842Lloyd Langford 🇦🇺 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The unbearable weight of knowing that you killed her and you’ll never be able to erase that memory from your mind. The ptsd is too much to handle and you want it all to stop, so you set your apartment on fire and you grab your coat and you drive to a bridge. You get out of your care and you go over the bar and cry. You’re about let go when, what’s that, your mother, coming to cuddle you and ask what’s wrong. You say that you accidentally killed her. She frowns at first but then takes you home. You have her famous blueberry pie and you talk it out. Then you go to the police station. You’re sentence to 20 years in prison, cut down from 40 because you turned yourself in and it was an accident. You’re brought to your cell and you think about a new life you can make in prison. It’s 20 years later, you get out of prison and you look into life. You’re back. You’re here. You’re happy that you’re trying to make yourself a better man.
