Multiple Choice
Refer to this scenario for the following questions:
A multi- dimensional being reaches down to Earth and pulls you out of the universe. You are then thrown back into the universe at a place and time of the being's choosing, and you are permitted to leave only after you have identified your surroundings. This process is repeated several times. Through a scientifically unexplainable miracle, you are able to survive in every one of the places that you find yourself. In each scenario below, identify your surroundings (and potentially your cosmic era) from among the choices given.
-You are on the surface of an object, and you have a fairly clear view out into space. Unfortunately, you are also very squashed. The light you observe from distant objects is slightly blueshifted. The surface of the object is composed primarily of carbon and oxygen, and the distance to the horizon seems about the same as that on Earth. By observing the sky for a few weeks, you realize that there are several planets orbiting your object. Where are you?
A) You are on the surface of a white dwarf.
B) You are "on" an accretion disk around a black hole.
C) You are on the surface of a neutron star.
D) You are on the surface of a planet that is somewhat more massive than the Earth.
E) You are on the surface of the Earth.
