Then don't.
You have allowed yourself to be misled by our resident nutter.
The pressure in a balloon in NOT the same at every point.
There is a pressure gradient.
In fact, that pressure gradient is precisely the reason why it floats.
It took a real genius, named Archimedes, 2500 years ago,
to see that.

I'm sure you can imagine it, if you have practiced enough with Alice,
but it is impossible nevertheless.

Not. It is in a quasi-stationary state.

Correct.

More nonsense.
Hint: there is radioactive heating throughout,
