If someone could teleport into the middle of the Sun for just a split second and then back out, would they still get burned or vaporized? I’m talking the shortest amount of time.. And excluding the damages that would come from even traveling that fast

really depends on how long a split second is, but probably instantly vaporized.

Thermal transfer takes time to happen. If you were there for literally “the shortest amount of time” as in an infinitesimal moment, I don’t think anything would happen. You wouldn’t even realize it happened. It might already be happening to you right now!

thermal transfer takes time, but in the core of the sun the density of the surrounding material would make that happen nearly instantly, but then there is the pressure. that sub that imploded near titanic imploded so fast that the people inside didn’t even know they died. the pressure inside the sun has to be orders of magnitude greater than the bottom of the atlantic.

It’s an ongoing nuclear explosion under extreme pressures. It’s going to hurt.

i don’t think it would hurt though. if something did happen, it would be faster than what pain could even register. at this level, pain doesn’t exist

Heat transfer takes time.
Nano second? You’d not even get warm.

Sure. But the question specifically said “the shortest amount of time”. Which I take to mean the smallest possible discrete amount of time, which means there wouldn’t be another moment for the thermal transfer to take place in.
If you were there for two such moments, then sure, thermal/pressure transfer can and would take place and you would both be crushed and evaporated.
the smallest unit of time possible is a planck second, which is basically 1 frame of causality, but time is also going to move slower inside the core of the sun than outside in space.
the thing is, you would need at least 2 planck seconds, you can’t act or do anything inside a single second, so you could port in 1 second, then port out the second, you can not conduct two actions in the same plank second.
so then i guess the OPs answer is 2 planck seconds.

Yes, they would be instantly vaporized—even in the shortest conceivable “split second” (e.g., a femtosecond, 10^{-15} s)—long before any sensation of “burning” could register. The damage isn’t from heat transfer in the usual sense (like touching a hot stove); it’s from the extreme thermodynamic conditions inside the Sun’s core instantly overwhelming all atomic and molecular bonds.

Oh. Good points. So yeah, I guess the OP is cooked. Literally. Sorry OP, I tried.

I love how everyone is ignoring the gravity aspect.
All of you would be fused into fuel the plank second you popped in.

Exactly! Forget the heat — gravity alone makes any ‘two Planck seconds’ fantasy instant nuclear fuel.

If you teleport, you are travelling at a speed that far exceeds gravitational pull right?

i think you would explode, if you ported in at the speed of a single planck second, all the matter you displaced would be moved so fast it would cause nuclear fusion, not that this isn’t already happening in the core, but it would basically happen on your skin, and the counter pressure from both the sun’s gravity and the explosion you are causing would push back and vaporize you down to your sub atomic particles.

Displacement occurred to me, but I decided to ignore it for convenience. Like we do with air resistance all the time in simple physics.

the important part is that a plank second is the minimum amount, so while you can port in, and cause an explosion, this action→reaction still needs to happen on the 2nd planck second, but that is also when you want to port out.
so if you could port in and out in two plank seconds, i think what would port out would be an explosion.
