The Strange Properties of SCP-123 | The Geodesic Sphere (SCP Library)

The geodesic sphere is hollow except for the center, where there appears to be a black ball approximately 1mm in diameter. No light can be reflected or emitted from the black ball. The core seems to exhibit significant gravitational force that increases massively within the limits of the outer geodesic sphere. This gravity can be measured with sensitive instruments dozens of meters away. Within about three meters, the attraction is visible to any observer, with hanging objects being drawn towards the ball. On the surface of the outer sphere, the gravitational force doubles the weight of any object placed on the structure.

If a small object is inserted into the outer sphere, its properties are made evident. Such an object quickly accelerates towards the center and then disappears. Any liquid poured into the object is also sucked into the central ball. An analysis has shown that light approaching the black ball is curved towards the center. The extent of the gravity displayed on the surface of the inner ball indicates that its mass is approximately 1029 Kg, although the apparent gravity-reducing effect within the outer sphere means that its actual mass may far exceed this. Note that such a mass would normally imply a Schwarzschild radius on the order of 200 meters, which exceeds the actual observed radius of approximately 0.5 mm, which can be viewed as further evidence of the gravitational damping properties of the outer sphere.
