What happens if you mess with popcorn like putting a hole in the shell or leaving it in the sun for a few days?

Well, the popcorn will be very hard; in other cases it will be stale. Very stale; matters how long you leave it out like that... Popcorn pops because the endosperm has a high moisture content. The shell is hard and hold pressure. It is like a mini pressure cooker. When the moisture inside overcomes the shells strength to contain the pressure, the kernel explodes. Water boils at 210 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the water and oil raises above that point, the water turns to vapor. When it has turned the moisture to vapor, it is gelatinizes the starches in the endosperm causing the hardened starches to start softening up. Then when the water vapor creates enough pressure (about 135 psi) the kernel bursts violently and the water still left in the starches causes it to puff up the insides and thus you get popcorn. Pressure goes from high to low. Just like electricity goes from positive to the more negatively charged parts (like everything drains towards the ground). If there is a hole in the kernel then all the water vapor that would normally create the pressure would just escape through the path of least resistance there were a hole the kernels moisture content would just evaporate and be released into the air. Eventually then corn kernel would dry out and then just burn. If you left popcorn in the sun nothing would happen, with or without a hole in the kernel. As I said, the water content within the kernel has to go above the boiling point of water (212 degrees F) to even start building up any pressure. If you left it in the sun, the kernel would start to lose moisture and over time would dry up to a really hard kernel not useful for much.


Why popcorn with a hole pop less?

How big would the sun be if it was a black hole?

Firstly our sun is too small to become a black hole. Only stars that are a million to a billion times our sun do this, because they burn through their fuel quickly, unlike our sun. A typical black hole has 3 times the mass of our sun


How do you get over the electric fence at Nabooti island?

The diamond mines have an electric fence around them. Get a hardhat from the Safari and enter the lower mine to the right. Turn the switch that cuts off the electric power briefly. Run quickly left, up the pile, then right on the conveyor belt. Jump through the hole in the belt and go right until you find the hole in the fence. Quickly jump up and through.


How do you get past the shocks on Nabooti island?

You have to turn off the electric fence inside the main part of the Diamond Mines. You need a hardhat from completing the Safari. When you turn the timer, you have to quickly run to get through the hole in the fence: run up the pile, then across to the right and down through the hole in the conveyor belt.

What would happen if there was a small hole that went straight through the entire planet?

In reality it would be quickly closed - with no real noticeable results. IF it were big enough, then you'd get earthquakes.
