    Captain panic has been sent to the center of the galaxy to collect a spoonful of matter and bring it back.

    Wouldn't he be made smaller by the immense density of the galactic center?, so wouldn't the size of the spoon get smaller?

    He gets a spoonful and makes his way back.
    His spoon now becomes larger again, and the matter he collected gets larger as well.

    Did he get the correct ammount of matter, he got a spoonfull but was it a large spoonful or a small spoonful.

    Would the matter he collected expand to more than a spoonful, the matter has internal density were as captain panic did not?

    Does he get more or less than he was sent to fetch?
    Will he get promoted or demoted?

    fuh..

    my guess would be... How many particles in the spoon... Unless they (the "tighter", haha, particles) somehow magically change during the trip, in a wonderful way different from the particles in the spoon... But then again, I'm quite drunk... So I change my reply to the matrix version: "it's not the matter that bends, it's the space... or time, or, well, one of them.." both, naturally... The answer still being the same. ... according to that emc2-guy... Or am I terribly wrong and deserve a royal spanking? Oh, well. sorry to bother you all... I'll go now.. Bye. *hic*, *glugluglug* *ahh*
