Short version: if the universe suddenly gained a googolplex amount of mass, normal intuition is useless — gravity and spacetime would go absolutely off the rails.

I’ll assume by “googplex” you mean googolplex =

: 

For comparison:
* Mass of the observable universe ≈ 10⁵³ kg
* A googolplex ≈ 10^(10^100) kg (if we treat it as kilograms)

So the extra mass you’re adding is not “a lot more.” It’s absurdly, stupidly, wildly more than everything that exists now. The current universe is basically zero compared to that number.

==== First problem: ====
* Energy/mass is conserved.
* Suddenly adding a googolplex of mass out of nowhere violates that completely.

But let’s ignore that and ask: what would gravity do?

==== If that googolplex mass appears in some finite region (even galaxy-sized or universe-sized): ====
* The Schwarzschild radius (black hole radius) for that mass would be enormous, wildly bigger than the observable universe’s size.
* That means the whole region would be deep inside a black hole.

From “outside” (if such an outside even exists):
* You just created a super–super–super black hole.
* Spacetime curvature goes extreme; time dilation becomes insane near it.

From the inside:
* Everything gets pulled inward.
* There’s no stable orbits, no galaxies, nothing — just catastrophic collapse.
* You’re heading toward a gravity-dominated singularity (where our physics stops being reliable).

Basically: instant Big Crunch-style collapse, but dialed way past what our equations have ever been safely used for.

==== Say the extra mass is smeared uniformly through the universe like some ultra-dense “fog”: ====
* The average density of the universe skyrockets.
* In cosmology, density determines how space expands or collapses.
* With that much density, the expansion of the universe wouldn’t just slow — it would: - Reverse into a violent collapse. - Crunch everything back together in insanely short cosmic time.

The universe stops being a gently expanding space and becomes a doomed collapsing furnace, racing toward something like a universal black hole.

==== None of them get a chance. ====
* On relatively short timescales: - Orbits get twisted. - Galaxies are pulled, stretched, and crushed. - Tidal forces, collisions, extreme radiation fields.
* Eventually, everything is pulled into the final collapse.
* No stable stars, no long-term chemistry, no “places” in the usual sense — just a universe heading toward a high-density end state.

==== If the universe suddenly gains a googolplex amount of mass: ====
* You add incomprehensibly more mass than the whole current universe.
* Gravity becomes overwhelmingly strong.
* The universe very quickly heads toward: - Global collapse, likely forming something equivalent to a universe-scale black hole / singular state.
* All structure (galaxies, stars, planets, life) is doomed long before that final state.

If you want to get even weirder, we can try:
* “What if the universe lost almost all its mass suddenly?”
* or “What if all mass turned into pure radiation at once?”
