The Sun impresses me. So much energy to dish out, so little of that is taken by planet Earth yet it helped yield and maintain life. Now what will happen when that energy is taken away ...
- Razengan 2mo agoWe still have our core There may be rogue planets out there sustaining life far from any star..
- apt-apt-apt-apt 2mo agoThere is. They had a civilization long ago, but now they're down to a small village and only have a radio that they use once every 1000 years. I managed to talk to them a few years back on my ham. They asked me to send them energy, I told them we'd need to figure out fusion energy first and that we'd get back to them next millenium.
- perpetuallunch 2mo agoWhy would the sun’s energy be taken away?
- bormaj 2mo agoIt's the impending and inevitable heat death of the universe... several billions of years away...
- beart 2mo agoI think you're off by about 90 orders of magnitude for the actual heat death
- perpetuallunch 2mo agoOur nearest star, Sol, will grow cold well before then. But even that is estimated to take trillions of years after it runs out of hydrogen for fusion.
- _joel 2mo agoErr, no. You're well out there! By literally 10^100 years or more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD4izuDMUQA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD4izuDMUQA
- inigyou 2mo agoHealthy adults don't think about this. It's rational but it's too rational and it makes you unable to function. If you find yourself fixed on the inevitability of the death of everything, maybe seek counseling.
- caymanjim 2mo agoThe sun will destroy the earth long before it stops providing energy.
- recursivecaveat 2mo agoYeah, red giant sun will be 200 times the radius. So big it completely fills earth's orbit. Crazy to think that as hot and energetic as the sun already is, it has that much potential.
