If you did magically produce one and proceed to lick it, you'd get a significant dose of radiation to the face. If you managed to do this quickly enough, some of the francium would react with your saliva in the usual alkali metal fashion, producing francium hydroxide and releasing a large amount of heat. So, in summary, you'd be suffering from thermal burns, chemical burns, and radiation burns to the same part of the body at the same time.

I think your face and tongue would be better off if you tried to lick a few campfire flames, or condensed droplets from the spout of a vigorously boiling kettle Of course, a whole host of compounds would be forming simultaneously, including those of radium and astatine, thanks to those go-getters among the francium that were first to transmute into something a little friendlier.

The Earth is moving at very high speed relative to Mars, but this wouldn’t actually snap the copper wire, and neither would the Earth’s rotation. Why? Because their relative motion, while large in absolute terms, is very slow as a fraction of the distance between them, and copper wire can stretch. Unfortunately, the wire would snap anyway. A copper wire has a breaking length of 2.5 kilometers under Earth’s gravity, and around 6 km under Mars’s gravity. Exactly how it would break is difficult to say: if the copper magically appeared with no load on it whatsoever, a wave would travel up the wire Continue Reading 166 7 Profile photo for Jessica Cho Jessica Cho Quora User at Quora (product)Author has 135 answers and 1.7M answer views5y Related What would happen if I licked a brick?

Originally Answered: What if you ate Francium? Absolutely nothing. With the total amount of naturally occurring Francium in the world being estimated at 30g and quantities of synthetic material being vanishingly small, the amount you would be able to eat would be too tiny to have any effect. Being the most reactive ( we assume) of all alkali metals, if you were somehow able to manufacture a large quantity of Francium very quickly ( the half life is just 22 minutes) and pop it in your mouth it would blow your head off- quite literally. So you never would get to eat it. Good thing too as this prevents the agony of the radiation burns. 10 Profile photo for Alan Marble Alan Marble Author has 4K answers and 10.6M answer views5y Related What would happen if 1 km big cube of gold suddenly appeared in Russia? Your cube would weigh 19.3 billion metric tons. I hope it has appeared at rest on the ground, otherwise it’s going to make an almighty crash. It may well even push its way into the ground a bit - gold is really, really dense. Anyway, this is more gold than has been mined in the history of civilization, by a factor of greater than 100,000. There would suddenly be an overabundance of gold in the world and its value would plummet dramatically.

Originally Answered: What if earth were a cube instead of a sphere? To paint you a picture, imagine you were looking at Earth from space, focusing on one of the faces of the cube. Your eyes are drawn to a single, impossibly round sea, sparkling like a jewel, right in the middle of the face of the cube. Because gravity pulls towards the center of the cube, all water will pool in the middle of the faces of the cube where it's closest to the center of the Earth.

The Earth is moving at very high speed relative to Mars, but this wouldn’t actually snap the copper wire, and neither would the Earth’s rotation. Why? Because their relative motion, while large in absolute terms, is very slow as a fraction of the distance between them, and copper wire can stretch. Unfortunately, the wire would snap anyway. A copper wire has a breaking length of 2.5 kilometers under Earth’s gravity, and around 6 km under Mars’s gravity. Exactly how it would break is difficult to say: if the copper magically appeared with no load on it whatsoever, a wave would travel up the wire Continue Reading 166 7 Profile photo for Jessica Cho Jessica Cho Quora User at Quora (product)Author has 135 answers and 1.7M answer views5y Related What would happen if I licked a brick?

Originally Answered: What if you ate Francium? Absolutely nothing. With the total amount of naturally occurring Francium in the world being estimated at 30g and quantities of synthetic material being vanishingly small, the amount you would be able to eat would be too tiny to have any effect. Being the most reactive ( we assume) of all alkali metals, if you were somehow able to manufacture a large quantity of Francium very quickly ( the half life is just 22 minutes) and pop it in your mouth it would blow your head off- quite literally. So you never would get to eat it.

Your eyes are drawn to a single, impossibly round sea, sparkling like a jewel, right in the middle of the face of the cube.

If you did magically produce one and proceed to lick it, you'd get a significant dose of radiation to the face. If you managed to do this quickly enough, some of the francium would react with your saliva in the usual alkali metal fashion, producing francium hydroxide and releasing a large amount of heat.
