As if there were any different actions that could be taken to avoid a star vs a black hole. I’d probably welcome the quicker demise tbh

- stouset 1y agoIt’s less about actions we could take and more about knowing we don’t have to worry about colliding with a star for the moment.
- Ancalagon 1y agoYou probably wouldn’t want society to know we were about to collide with a star-sized mass, visible or not.
- Swizec 1y ago> wouldn’t want society to know we were about to collide with a star-sized mass I may be misunderstanding the distances involved but wouldn't such a collision take centuries if not thousands of years to play out? For the most part it would just look like we had 2 suns, one of which gets a few millimeters bigger (to the naked eye) every year.
- datavirtue 1y agoYes, and the weather would ruin us long before any exciting cosmological collision took place.
- LordGrignard 1y agoah dammit I didn't think of that you're right it would be more of a disturbed orbit, weird ass days and nights but hey atleast there's a chance the scientists could have close up real life simulation of the three body problem
