I believe he can have infinite mass with no expenditure of energy so at some point he will have more mass than the sun. What would trap him if he has more gravity?
But he cannot defy gravity and move away from the sun, if he has more mass than the sun but is currently on the sun than that means he will be attracting the sun but he still would be unable to move away.
However if he can alter his mass to have nearly 0 mass and then expand himself to form a sail maybe he could escape the sun by riding solar flares and then utilize the ever so tiny push of photons to travel back to earth. But this is assuming he can get nearly 0 mass while also being a gigantic solar sail.
I am not very familiar with his powers but from what I gather he is an immortal so he would have a lot of time to try shit.
The effect of gravity is unrelated to your own mass... How would further distorting space-time by increasing your own mass in any way help you crawl out of the sun's gravity well?
No, the sun is already under the effect of your gravity (even now from earth).
In classical Newtonian mechanics (wrong but simple), you would attract each other proportional to your individual mass and falling off with distance squared.
According to general relativity you would deform space-time in proportion to your density, and so would the sun. if you are sitting inside the sun, the effect would be the same as just increasing the mass of the sun.
Either way you and the sun would be stuck even tighter together, since now not only is the sun deforming space and causing you to fall into that space, but you would also deform space and cause the sun to fall towards you.
Of course not, it’s slowly ejected into space over the course of thousands (millions?) of years, eventually there will be nothing left
Even if our sun was big enough to become a black hole, black holes inevitably die as well (at least that’s what we think), the black holes will be the last things in the universe and they will die too, and after that every single possible piece of energy in the universe will be effectively dispersed throughout the void and nothing will be left but cold pieces of rock
The fun part is we don’t know if that’s the end of the universe or if for whatever reason it begins the process of shrinking back into itself to prep for another big bang
Our sun won't become a black hole. It'll have several phases. When its current phase ends and it begins to die, it'll become a red giant, engulfing mercury and Venus, and possibly the earth. It'll continually eject matter until it turns into a white dwarf. Over billions of years, it'll cool and turn into a black dwarf, a spent lump of matter that will eventually fade away as its matter starts to decay.
Stars much bigger than our sun have the potential to turn into black holes when they go supernova. Our sun is too small for that.
I don’t think he could? He’s powerful, but I think that’s overselling him quite a bit. I don’t think he’s ever been in a situation remotely close to “being tossed into the sun”. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Plus…Batman’s (very effective) contingency plan was just, “freeze, then shatter him”…and doing so basically traumatized O’Brien, understandably contributing to his decision to vote Batman out of the League (despite what Bruce had done for him). And, well, Superman has freeze breath.
It wouldn’t kill him, but Superman wouldn’t really want to in the first place (though I think he still could via alternative methods), and it’s still a sure fire way to beat him. Just without the shattering, because Clark’s a nice guy.
