I’m not a physicist by any means, but I would hypothesize that the slowest way would be to somehow get the object into a slowly decaying, nearly-geostationary orbit around Earth, closer than the Lagrange point between Earth and the Moon. Eventually its orbit will decay enough that it will just fall into our atmosphere somewhat “straight down”, making it a matter of calculating the object’s terminal velocity.
I’ll probably be wrong about many things here, but it’ll be interesting to learn when someone corrects me.
The Sun’s radius is ~696,000,000 meters, so the surface area of a perfectly circular cutout would be 1.5218e18 square meters. An article I found says that cardboard used for packing is about 0.35-0.4 kg per square meter, so taking an average of 0.375kg/m^2 gives a total of 5.7069e17kg. This is about the same mass as 40% of all water on Earth.
If it’s 1:1 ratio? The sun
Orange chicken with a side of chocolate milk. I stand by this, even though none of my friends are willing to give it a shot.
For my money I’d say “Hot Fuzz”. The script is so tightly written that it’s AMAZING on rewatches. Almost every single line of dialogue is either a joke, set-up for a joke, a payoff, advances the plot, foreshadowing, establishes characters, or some combination of all of these.
The only things I could maybe see people thinking of as plot holes would be how absurd some character motivations are, but to me that just falls into suspension of disbelief.
