Answer 6

I believe the core liquefies and expands against the shell. Eventually the shell fails and you have, effectively, a small steam boiler explosion. I hear this will take the door off a microwave.

Try it and let us know.

Answer 8

try it and post the results on here so we won't do it.

Answer 9

Answer 10

nothing - now if u turn the microwave on then something might happen

Answer 11

Nothing if you don't turn it on.

Some golf balls have a semi liquid (pressurized) center.  This could overheat and explode in your microwave, possibly causing lots of schrapnel flying around.

My advice is don't do it.
