I am not a grad student of Planetary Science like the author, but it is my uneducated opinion that there is no need to consult a biologist on this. If the sun was to go out, we would all be doomed in short order.

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?

If it freezes, we could all keep warm by just having sex all day like in that episode of "Taxi".

From my understanding, the sun will expand beyond the orbit of Mars and then shrink. Forget about blankets. Invest in fire retardant longjohns.

Our sun will eventually go out, but not before swelling to become a Red Giant with a diameter sufficient to engulf the earth.

We'll be burnt to a crisp and presumably become part of the Sun's inner core, although I suppose we could simply be vaporized first.

Either way, freezing to death isn't in the future cards for us.

The bright side is we won't have to hear from the libs about global warming anymore - then again they don't give up easily.

Just what I needed. Something else to worry about.

If the sun were to go out everybody would be de-lighted.

I'm not exactly sure what would happen if the sun went out, but I'm pretty darned certain it would somehow be Bush's fault.

What If The Sun Was To Go Out?

We'd all don red dresses and curly red wigs and start singing our lungs out.

The short answer to your question is that no one knows the answer

Evidently this author has not gotten word from the DNC and the residents in the "Blue" portions of this country. I have it from sources that the Sun went out Nov. 2nd 2004?

None of this matters anyway. The budget deficit is going to kill us all long before the sun disappears. *end sarcasm*
