Is the Sun nuclear?

What if immovable rods are immobile with respect to a fixed, predefined point. Perhaps the metaphysics of their construction dictates that said point is (for all immovavble rods made on Golarion) the privy behind Joresh's bakery in Korvosa? Very few ever discover this secret, most of those who do lose the rod in the process of discovery.

Golarion's oceans will now be all messed up, in that there won't be any lunar tides, which will wreak havoc with both the economy and the ecology in many subtle ways. BWA HA HA!

Now you've got me wondering what happens if a Sphere of Annihilation meets a black hole . . . .

That is how umbral blots are made.

The tricky thing is would the sphere of annihilation actually ever be able to come in contact with the black hole? since as it approaches time is stretched out and slowed.


There is a video on YouTube about what would happen if you brought a piece of sun to the Earth. What Happens If We Bring the Sun to Earth? by Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell

Well, no.

The sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma. The sun's not simply made out of gas. No, no, no. The sun is a quagmire; it's not made of fire. Forget what you've been told in the past.

Plasma: electrons are free. Plasma: fourth state of matter--not gas, not liquid, not solid.

wrong! It's a lot of fun.

It's a hot-spot, it's a gas!
Hydrogen and helium in a big, bright, glowing mass

I'm surprised by the lack of "Ask the Aboleths".


I thought in Starfinder it's established that the sun is actually a "naturally occuring" hole between the material plane and elemental plane of fire. A very large hole to the elemental plane of fire.


I can't speak to the state of Pathfinders celestial bodies but there is a simple cost effective way to end most, if not all life in time. It's not time efficient mind you, unless you got life times to spare.
Decanter of endless water, done. Well turn it on at fountain setting and drop it into the nearest ocean. If depth pressure is a concern, one could attach it to a buoy or some other simple solution. Ta da Lex Luthor'esk evil achieved.
P.S
One aspect I forgot, the Decantor should be set to fresh water when dropped into said Ocean. It'd speed things along slightly.

At the very least, I now have a great idea for an NPC cultist of Groetus to serve as BBEG for a group of low level PCs -- just because he can't necessarily succeed crashing the moon into the planet or burning it wholesale with the nuclear sun, doesn't mean he can't go to great ends to try -- devastating quite a bit in the attempt if the PCs don't stop him.


The gate to the furnace is possibly the pilot light. A possibility for fusion power stations. I vote that the sun can still be nuclear.

Several points.
1: An immovable rod that works on absolute but not planetary location is a cursed item. Know your GM before doing quick and dirty crafting.

2:A gravity bomb designed to hurl a planet into it's sun is a possible lesser artifact. Could it be made to eliminate a very hostile homeworld? In any case, an apocalypse ritual is built into an item. Possibly a skull carved all over with runes.

3:The furnace is at the deep end of the positive energy. In my theories about 10 dimensional space, the elemental dimension has radically concentrated specific elements in one direction, and mixed up energised mush in the other direction. Thus there are places in the furnace where you just heal very fast and undead are non existent.

Sphere of annihilation = Tiny wormhole to black hole = Micro black hole
