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.

I'd invest in flashlights and batteries.

That question was answered in the good Dr. Isaac Asimov's short story "Nightfall."

Fortunately, if it does go out, we'll be blessed with 8 additional minutes of blissful ignorance before finding out.

All we'd have to do is kick up the global warming machine the liberals say we control and everything would be OK.

I am not a physicist, but it's my uneducated opinion that the sun can't just "go out". I mean, it's a nuclear reaction, right? What would it take to stop the fusion process?

Someone has got waaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands.

While they're at it: "What happens if it starts raining green M&Ms tomorrow?"

What If The Sun Was To Go Out?

Which Sun? If one in Canopus or Orion's Belt were to go out, I'd note it then throw another log on the fire.

Oh, our Sun? Invest in hand warmers and fur-lined mukluks.

If the sun was to go out...it would be Bush's fault, for not ratifying the Kyoto Protocol.

It will certainly be blamed on Bush.

"I am not a grad student of Planetary Science ... "

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?

having the sun go out still would not be enough to stop the Ohio recount.
