Edited by: Lord Evangelian on 13/03/2007 16:41:15 Edited by: Lord Evangelian on 13/03/2007 16:36:19 Count to 8 Seconds... (Pretend its 8 mins...)
Now read below...
Event It takes approximately 8 mins for light to travel after being emitted from the sun to the earth. If the sun explodes this means we have 8 mins or less before the earth is consumed into a fiery apocalypse.
Reaction If you know this has happened and you know you have 8 seconds to live what would you do?...

I would try to log into eveāno doubt connection would fail or the server would be down, knowing my luck... just messing. I would spend my final seconds alive calling my fiancT and telling her that I love her... ------

Actually if i remember correctly, as the sun grows(before going tiny and going boom), it would consume eart in the growth part.
This takes quite a while, well, a few hours i believe(can't remember the fact).
So, if we missed completely that the sun is covering half our sky and it's hotter then in an exotic dancers panties, and survived the scorch that the expanding sun would cause(when it engulfs the earth) and also ignored the fact it disappears into a pin sized dot on the sky and ONLY notice after that, that it explodes...i'd probably flip it the bird and say "Thanks for the fish"

Edited by: Celeste Coeval on 13/03/2007 16:41:46 it's 8 minutes and also it takes 200,000 yrs iirc for that light to reach the surface of the sun from the energy being released inside the star due to the gravitational forces involved.
If i had 8 minutes to live, I'd make a cup of coffee and have a smoke.

If the sun was about to go nova, no electronics would work. So no Eve for those 8 minutes :P
If i remember correctly, i think there was something about a solar flare causing electronics to mess up. But im not 100% on that. - - - - - - - - - All comments and posts are my own and not of Macabre Votum |

The thing thats cool for me is:
Gravity effects also travel at Light speed, meening if the sun disapeared today the earth would still orbit empty space untill effects... take effect.
isnt that cool. the wierdo's will ***** the gravity mystery one day

How would we know it's exploded? Any information we had regarding the explosion wouldn't outrun the speed of light, so the first thing we'd know about it would be the exact moment we died instantly.
Jeez, don't you just hate it whem some humourless arse gets involved? ... so ...
Given enough time to get myself set up in advance, I'd ********** furiously while running around the Houses of Parliament while eating a chicken vindaloo, really hoping it wasn't a hoax!

Well since our comms systems are actually slower than light speed we would probably never know about it if the sun went nova on us. The explosion wouldn't kill us - the photoninc (light) radiation would vaporise us!
As for the "growth" part - most astro folk say that our sun is to small to nova naturally. Instead it would become a red giant - which would basically expand most of the way to mars, eating us in the process. (this, of course, only takes a few billion years) After that it either collapses into a white dwarf or becomes a black hole (super condensed matter).
Buuut, if there was an "early warning system" that gave us 8 minutes warning? I'd probably say "***k it". Not much i can do about that!

Put on an extra layer of sun screen. -

I'd sit down, await the unevitable, and be thankful for not having missed out much on life, at an early age. Prolly on my balcony watching people running around screaming.

actually we'll all be dead before the sun expands to consume the earth, the sun will get warmer and warmer over the millenia, I read recently, so we only have about 2 billion years left, out of the 4 -5 billion years the sun is due to last, before the earth is a fiery desert anyway due to thermal increase in our stellar neighbour
Happy days
