Opening a portal to the center of the Sun

[QUOTE="some bloke, post: 6868023, member: 654906"] Thanks all for the replies! Annoyingly, this was a while ago so I cannot offhand remember the way I worked out the speed. I think I worked out the speed in m/s based on diameter and differential pressure, and then worked around 1 second. For obvious reasons, most "flow through a pipe" calculations don't account for relativity! I had anticipated this going off like a nuclear bomb (several thousand of them, actually!). So the portal opens, and the moment the matter flows through it expands in all directions, creating a hypersonic fireball of plasma which would probably do loads of damage to the world - how much? Does it disintegrate a section of the earth, throwing off its orbit? Does it displace or ignite the atmosphere? I'm really curious as to how bad bad is - when detonating something this powerful, what implications would it have for the opposite side of the world? [/QUOTE]
