    Ooi. As you seem to have a hold on the physics.

    My first thought was. If a planet the size and location of neptune just vanished.

    What effects would that have on the rest of the solar system. Given Pluto was found due to its effect on neptune I think. And this is a relatively small mass on a larger one.

    I’d be very interested to hear opinions on what the sudden disappearance of a planet would do.

    Just to put everyone’s mind at rest. I am not an evil scientist working on quantum teleportation.

    That said. Feel free to consider other planets. … such as jupiter. ;)

      Not sure if that would be as simple as estimating the falling time. Most likely, it will change the revolution period of other planets, but my guess is that nothing dramatic is going to happen. Would love to see a simulation of that, of course ❤️

        Check out Universe Sandbox on steam. Open the Sol system and delete a planet, change all the settings add black holes
