But the sun already is an extreeeemly large explosion! That's the point! One doesn't stop an explosion, one waits for it to exhaust its materials. The sun's going to take a while to do that.
Nor I, but there are some things that are evident to all.
I suspect the good professor is on the dole from a public grant of some kind.
As far as caring about "other" life forms dying off? I care about as much as I do of the possible life forms that have come and gone since the universe began.
Is it cold in here, or is it me?
What if the sun WERE to go out??
Paul McCartney would write a new song, "There Goes the Sun".
Dancing in the streets. Until someone slipped and broke something and then the mass suing of Mars Corporation would begin.
Of course.. The sun is republican. It's not subsidized and no one has to pay for it....
So would a sunkiller bomb.
Inshai Compact.
Historians' name for an interstellar government that was in power some 5000 years ago, a federation of approximately 36 hominid and non-hominid cultures. The Compact fell when a world of the Orion Congeries allegedly placed a sunkiller bomb into Sigma 1014 Orionis, homestar of Inshai. ("Spock's World" [Pocket TOS HC #1]).
Women and minorities to suffer most.
I mean extreeeeeeeeemly large Like solar system large.....
It's Bush's fault!
I'd give up on atkins and eat a oatmeal cookie !
"Now, there is another energy source which is significant - geothermal heat"
Let us prepare to invade Iceland.
having the sun go out still would not be enough to stop the Ohio recount.
If we could seek shelter inside a domed city, it might be interesting to watch the outside world freeze to zero kelvin. But then if the Sun were to go out, would it be a neutron star or a black hole, or would its mass just vanish?
NUCLEAR ENERGY BUMP!
If it freezes, we could all keep warm by just having sex all day like in that episode of "Taxi".
LOL. But isn't _Here Comes The Sun_ a John Lennon song?!?
There was some cafeteria speculation a couple years ago that the sun has already gone out. It is dark inside and the surface is glowing from residual heat. Won't be long until we notice, maybe a few thousand years.
From my understanding, the sun will expand beyond the orbit of Mars and then shrink. Forget about blankets. Invest in fire retardant longjohns.
