If you had large enough chopsticks could you pick up Jupiter?

Well, I could, but then, I’m pretty good with chopsticks.

Jupiter is suspected of having a solid core, hidden under layers of gaseous and liquid hydrogen, so if your chopsticks do not melt under the intense heat, about 24000 °C, you could pick it up.

No because it’s gas.

There is a solid core way down under the clouds.

You need more than chopsticks. You need a lever and a fulcrum, and a place to stand. Just ask Archimedes.

You could but you would then have a trail of Jupiter’s moons following in its wake and spilling down your shirt front. It happens when you show off with chopsticks.

I wonder if you got your chopstick idea from Archimedes

To have chopsticks that are large enough to pick up Jupiter, you would need really big hands.

I can’t pick up a piece of Styrofoam with chopsticks, so I think I’d have to pass on this one!!! :]

@flutherother I got the question last night in a dream. I wonder about weird stuff all night. Fluther is a godsend. It’s not a leverage question, but rather a center of Jupiter question.

I try to ask original questions on Fluther.

If you picked it up would you eat it with sweet and sour sauce ?

@Dutchess_III No. I prefer plum sauce.

If Jupiter disappears and traces of plum sauce are found in its former orbit, we’ll know exactly who’s to blame.

@Jeruba I will be sure to lick the evidence clean.

@Jeruba I hope that it doesn’t trigger my I.B.S. I will be sure to take two peppermint pills and some Tums.

But what if Jupiter Saturn Uranus?

Squished @Strauss.
What happened to Maybelline?

@Dutchess_III What happened to Maybelline

…Funny you should ask…

Well answer @Strauss!

“Maybelline, Maybelline Ooh La La!

…but I’m not the kiss-and-tell type, even if it was a secret crush!

What happened to Maybelline?........ MAX FACTOR!
Geez! That’s an elementary school joke! Where have y’all been?!

I’ve been out of elementary school for approximately 60 years!

Well then you should have heard it by now!

There goes the memory! Like a steel trap sieve!
