First wish was to repeal Bernoulli’s principle
The second was doubling the mass of a photon
What would that do to a star’s interior?
2 * 0 = 0
Doubling the mass of photons is no change.
Repealing Bournoulli’s principle requires changing how kinetic collisions of molecules translates into bulk measurables like pressure and density. There’s no way to predict what that does without first specifying more about what changes are made.
Just pour salt on the universe and make it turn inside out.
This creates a white hole, and also destroys the universe.

[note: I thought the OP said “proton”]
Best case? atoms shrink slightly and some changes to how chemistry works
Realistic case? The change in nuclear binding energies renders protons unstable, making many elements unstable or radioactive. All matter suddenly becomes much heavier, changing gravity and internal pressure, which in turn disrupts stellar and planetary structures. Fusion reactions depend on precise mass differences between particles, which may alter how stars generate energy, or completely prevent them from forming altogether. Additionally, since proton mass is tied to the strong nuclear force, it will fundamentally alter physics, and it’s likely that protons will decay into neutrons, preventing atoms from existing at all.
The first wish would affect how fluids act under pressure, including how our blood would move throughout our bodies. Depending on the exact effects, the wisher may not even get the chance to make the second wish because their blood would either stop moving, or they would drop to ground as every capillary in their body ruptures causing an immediate loss of blood pressure, quickly followed by loss of consciousness and then death.
IF they live long enough to make the second wish, then they probably wouldn’t live long enough to make the third.
That’s neat, but he said photon, as in the light particle
Wow, I totally missed that. I need to start wearing my glasses🤦♂️
I must have just assumed proton, since photons have zero rest mass and doubling that wouldn’t change anything.The photons from the h must have been delayed due to their mass doubling.
Its turns the universe into a nuke…
- Switch all protons and neutrons of the universe
- Set PI = 3
Who says pi has to be a constant at all?
Go ahead and sign up for a non-euclidean geometry course. Constant pi assumes flat geometry, and I’m ok with that.
Woah, that would be trippy
Any chance this is one of those situations where granting the first wish would kill you before you could make the second wish?
Nah, except if you are in a plane
Although I am not sure if anything in the human body relies on the big berni, but if not you are golden
Why not change the measure of the nuclear efficiency of fusion from hydrogen to helium, to be from 0.007 into 0.006?
Boom, now only hydrogen can be made.
Or if we put it to 0.008, boom, now everything fuses way faster.
I’d go with making each next proton in the universe an anti proton
Maybe that’s already the case, just out of our event horizon
There is, afaik, no explanation why there is more matter than anti matter, so maybe we just don’t see it
Like, dark side of the universe or something ;-)

This is the baryon asymmetry problem, and indeed, one of the proposed solutions is an “anti-universe” that flows backwards in time. The theory goes that all the antimatter travelled backwards in time while matter travelled forward from the Big Bang, creating a mirror anti-universe. However, there has been experimental evidence against this theory, as antiparticles seem to move forward in time, just like their matter counterparts.
There are a bunch more theories on how matter dominated the universe, like electroweak baryogenesis and leptopgenesis! Those are a bit more complicated though and are difficult to explain in an internet comment.
Imma go ahead and postulate that beyond the observable universe is a wall of anti matter, that keeps eating our universe’s matter and neutralizing it.
Prove me wrong! (Don’t.)
