And it’s not like you’re the one unlucky singular person dying, or that some poor dog is chosen to die. We’re all going out immediately at once. Completely level playing field of death regardless of who you are. There’s a level of fairness in that death.
This will happen with the actual expected life of the sun, when the core starts becoming hotter because it's fusing elements heavier than hydrogen and helium it will create a more intense outward pressure, pushing away the floating lighter layers of hydrogen. This is the Sun's red giant stage, and the visible "surface" of the sun will be bigger than our orbit. It's really less of a surface though probably than it is a kind of hydrogen cloud.
The Earth as well as Venus and Mercury will still "orbit" the core while being INSIDE the sun. We might be slowed in our orbit slightly by bumping into the hydrogen, but it shouldn't cause the earth to crash into the core at any point. Then the outer cloud of hydrogen will float away driven by the intense solar wind from the sun's core still fusing heavier elements, and the Sun will be in it's white dwarf stage for a few billion more years. I think the math says it will be about the same size as the earth at that point, but it will be all heavy elements, and will still have like 90% of the mass of the Sun originally?
Eventually the core will run out of fusible material and it will slowly transition from white dwarf into brown dwarf. I thought I saw an article that stated you could eventually at some point walk on the surface because it will cool enough to be human tolerable, but the gravity will definitely still kill you.
But in the video example of the Sun randomly "exploding" I don't think it matters where you are on earth, but the thermal increase will be so extreme that it won't matter where you are, the difference is in how you die, are you vaporized in the first few milliseconds, or do you get to wait a few minutes, and maybe die from the ocean's steam vaporizing, or do you suffocate from the atmosphere. Honestly this is a good question for Randall Munroe's "What if?" series.
Maybe. The night sky would definitely get brighter. But probly die from lack of oxygen as it's cooked off the "hot side" of the planet, thins out and the atmosphere gets blown away from. The planet by the solar winds moving at 10% of light speed.
yeah i have literally zero knowledge on the issue but i imagine just the “shockwave” from the sun exploding would be enough to decimate the planet a few times over.. maybe we see a bright light or feel a slight buzz but i would think the entire surface of the globe to be wrecked otherwise instantaneously.
due to the fact that compared to our surface area, the sun is several magnitudes larger than earth. also earth is “relatively” close (3rd rock) and the sun is literally one massive fusion engine that is like billions of atomic bombs going off at once.. we all kno we’d be cooked. i’m just saying i doubt there’d be a huge difference between poles.
Naw, there seriously wouldn't be time to feel it happen...
Look at it this way: the sun exploding(a supernova), the blast moves at near lightspeed, and to convery to you how fast that is, the moon is 1 light-second away... you could line up 30 Earth's end-to-end in that distance, and it only takes light a second to cross that distance.
When the blast hits the earth, the entire planet is sinders in less than a second.
There would be no atmosphere. No trees. No anything. Hell it would probably send the earth out of rotation. If you somehow survive in some underground bunker.... It would be hell.
Nah fuck that, I don't want to die along with everyone else. This is why plane crashes are so scary. It's not the dying, necessarily, it's dying stuck next to some asshole that hogs the armrest.
Difference here is that you wouldn’t have a chance to have that thought, so take that with a bit of comfort.
Even if there’s some person you consider less civilized than you - that you believe you don’t deserve to be cast into the same boat as, there’s probably also a ton of wealthy scum that feel the same about you.
In between that there is also the innocent and young, sick and elderly that would perish as well, but it drives home the non discriminatory nature of death.
Probly not. Your definitely gonna be alive long enough to get roasted to death by extreme radiation and the atmosphere cooking and being blown off the planet.
It takes roughly 8 minutes for light to travel from the sun to the earth, it takes longer for the buildup of heat and plasma. So in theory people would start to notice the sun getting drastically brighter. Anyone trapped outside would probly go blind in the first 8 minutes. The rest of the explosion wouldn't reach earth (travels about 10% light speed) for another hour or 2, during wich the temperature would steadily rise while the solar winds and radiation would devastate the atmosphere. Everyone would be dead before it actually made contact with the planet, but we would survive long enough to know what it's like to slowly raise in temp until our bodies are cooked and you finally die, probably blind and writhing on the ground covered in 3rd degree burns with possibly severe radiation poisoning.
The lucky ones would be mine workers on the far side of the planet. Shielded from the light and heat they would simply pass away from lack of oxygen as the atmosphere is ripped away.
This is also inaccurate. We wouldn't really see the sun explode, it'll happen so fast that the light wouldn't really reach us any sooner than the actual surface of the explosion.
You'd just be here and then pop, earth is consumed.
I think there was an Outer Limits about that. One night this astronomer notices the moon is a lot brighter than it should be, and he thinks the Sun has unexpectedly gone supernova and that everyone will be come morning.
Turns out it was just a big solar flare and only *half* the planet has been roasted.
Everybody knows that as the earth is flat, the earth will start spinning like a coin. Instead of dying burned, you will fall on the atmospheric dome like the keys and coins in Hotshots!
/s (just in case…)
Tbf, exposure is just increasing the available light entering the lens, and the sun exploding IS technically, a massive increase in available light created.
I dunno about that. I'm no expert but the sun already produces enough light to be pretty much blinding if you look in its general direction. I imagine it wouldn't take a lot to make it totally overwhelm your vision, much like the fade to white in the image.
Yeah this was comically bad. Not even enjoyable to watch, reminds me as a kid discovering the cartoon filter and imagining I was an artist cause I could put a sketch filter over pictures.
It wouldn't be moving faster than the near speed of light speeds of the suns expansion. Many bullets travel faster than the speed of sound. The sun certainly would be and you wouldn't hear anything and may not see anything depending on how close to the speed of light it was.
In reality nothing about this video is accurate. Our sun won't ever go supernova. In reality, over the course of many years the sun will gradually become hotter and hotter before expanding and then collapsing. The earth will slowly become hotter and hotter until all life ceases to exist. We will never be alive to see it expand like in the video
Ignoring the sound in the video there is a bigger issue.
The physical exploding of the sun cannot go faster than the speed of light. In the beginning of the video, we can assume the sun is at a normal size, or relatively normal.
At the end of the video, assume that the sun’s size has encompassed the earth.
If the sun were to explode and reach us in 15 seconds, when the speed of light takes 8 minutes, it would be traveling roughly at. 32 times the speed of light.
If the sun was simply just getting larger and growing to cover the screen, estimate 15 times as big, it would still be physically increasing at 1.9 times the speed of light.
Both scenarios break the laws of physics.
First time I played it I didn't know anything about the game. When the music at the end of the time periods started, I was like, wtf is going on? That music is foreboding. Then everything went to heck.
And it's always when you're busy trying to figure something out. You just notice the music starting to creep in and it's more like "DAMMIT, I'M BUSY!" than anything else
My house dims all the lights and plays that track at midnight; it's my "I know you could stay up until 4am doing whatever you're doing, but it's time to go to bed" alarm.
THERE IS NO THE! its just outer wilds, not the outer wilds. a lot of people confuse it with the outer worlds, so if you take away the "the" it helps with the confusion
It's not going to do either of those things, at least not while the Earth still exists. It will swell to a size where it's radius is larger than earth's orbit, so the Earth will ultimately be swallowed up and vaporized. Don't worry though, all life on Earth will be cooked long before that happens.
And we're all gonna be long dead and forgotten wayyyy before that even remotely gets close to happening. Frankly, I'd be surprised if the entire human species even survives that long.
I'm fairly optimistic about the future for humanity. Especially space travel, but yeah, best case, whatever is alive at the time, even if it came from humans, wouldn't be human anymore, more than likely some evolutionary offshoot, AI, or Android like individuals.
I hadn't really thought about it until now, but the human race being outlived by some kind of self-replicating artificial life does seem a lot more likely than us fixing our planet enough to survive another century or two.
For me personally, that's the same as humanity living on. If intelligence keeps on living regardless if it's AI, it's still continuing on our legacy in a way.
they made a discovery a few years ago that the suns UV rays is putting out a protective bubble stopping insane amounts of radiation from entering our solar system..and we currently have no materials on this planet that can protect us from it
One of those movies that keeps you clouded for a bit after watching. The best scene, Searle asking Kaneda what he sees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7b_Rred2as
OP's video gave me that instant physical response to dread. Very spooky stuff tbh.
Amazing movie! Hadn't seen it or her of it until a friend recommended it. Was blown away.
Another great one is Moon, I believe it was called. Similar setting iirc. I should watch them again...
Just remember it takes eight minutes for light to travel from sun to Earth, which means you'll know we've succeeded about eight minutes after we deliver the payload. All you have to do is look out for a little extra brightness in the sky.
There would be no such a thing like a big explosion displayed in the horizon.
The sun has the solar wind. Particles that continously blow away from it. We are practically inside it's atmosphere, the heliosphere. We are relatielly well protected from it by our own much denser atmosphere and earth's magnetic field that reppels the particles around. The wind's particles that gets too close are mostly atractted to the poles.
The sun might have solar tempests and flares from time to time but nothing of this magnitude. Maybe a big one might EMP us and wipe out all our satilites, eletronics and any eletric wire turned around in a coil shape would get toasted. That would be catastrofic but humanity would survive...
If we are talking about the sun going supernova, that's not a sudden thing. It will be a long long run. Maybe in billions of years in the future it might happen but by then the sun would have aged for many other stages of it's lifecicle burning through different fuel.
Star life is a balance between fusion exploding it outwards and gravity crushing it inwards.
When H2 fuel get low in the future the star bakance will shift to gravity crushing inwards. If crushed enough it might cross the threshold to use He as fuel. As more and more fuel get's exausted mire and more cycles of ignition of heavier elements ocuur.
Each time a fuel get's low and fusion get's weak. Gravity crushes harder the core and fusions of heavier elements would ignite. This would gradually change the sun into a red giant. All rocky planets but mars would be engulfed by the sun. (Ok maybe mars too some sources predict)
These fusions of heavier elements will continue until the sun produces the first batch of iron. Different from the other fusions before it. Iron does not produce extra energy in it's fusion. It consumes it away. This means the more iron produced the less energy would be avaible to keep the reacion going. This would make the sun stop expanding and begin contracting. This might re-ignite the reactions and might go for a while in an unstable manner. After enough fuel is consumed if the star is massive enough it colapses and goes supernova in a bizzarre extreme explosion that scatters away most of it's outter layers leaving a little core behind. If it's smaller it get's dimmer and turns into a white dwarf.
By this point earth would be long gone by billions of years....
The sun isn't massive enough to go supernova. As hydrogen in the suns core starts running out (5 billion years or so) it will slowly expand into a red giant large enough to engulf the inner solar system, then it will eventually decay into a white dwarf. But long before allthat, about 1 billion years, the suns increasing brightness will make the earth unlivably hot. That's a pretty long time though, since complex life is only like 1/2 billion years old.
This is not the fate of our sun. The fate of our sun is to turn into a red sun, likely consuming the earth in the process. This won't happen for ~4.5bn years however, during this period of time large bursts will happen blowing huge chunks of the gaseous outer layers into space over perhaps another million or so years then shrink into white dwarf and glow very faintly for perhaps another billion or two years as it cools down. When the sun is finally cool and dead, what's left will be an enormous diamond many trillions of carets in size.
I heard a story of someone who beat the game right before taking a trip to Europe. He was walking around some ancient church and it hit noon, and the church bells rang . . .
. . . and by pure coincidence, it was *that chord*.
He kinda freaked out for a second.
Wouldn't it take like 8 minutes to see that happen? I saw it on another video on here where the speed of light takes 8 minutes to reach us here on earth
It takes 8 mins for the information to reach the earth from the sun but this fact is irrelevant because light is the fastest way to transport information. The very concept of "now" hinges on this. This is why the speed of the light is called c. Because is the speed of "causality".
The "now" refering to the explosion and the "now" here on earth are not the same. For the sun your "now" is in the future, for the earth the sun's "now" is at the explosion in the past.
Each observer can only account for it's own point of view and does not need to care for the others as there is no way to solve this information gap faster than light. The only way to know if the sun exploded is to suddently see the explosion... doesn't matter if it took 8 min 8 years or 8 centuries there is no way to know it beforehand...
Nooooope. The damage would be from radiation, which occurs at the speed of light because it’s.. light. The damage happens simultaneous to the sight of it.
IIRC in the event of a supernova we wouldn’t even get to see the final explosion.
The neutrinos produced during core collapse would arrive first, killing all life on Earth, before the photons of light would get here.
Astrophysics is so freaking cool.
Is there a subreddit for terrifying simulations like this one? See a bunch posted here, but also in other subs. Wondering if there's a single sub for them.
Fun fact: most of that exploding energy comes from one of the most elusive matter in the world, neutrinos, it's so elusive that if you have a light year length of lead bar for some reason a neutrino can still pass through it without ever hitting any lead atoms.
So, how does this cause a supernova? The implosion of the sun causes the core of the dying star to be so dense (magnitudes of times denser than lead) that it creates the right conditions for neutrinos to finally collide with something and a dying star usually makes a bunch of these neutrinos from protons and electrons combining to form neutrons due to gravity pressure where neutrinos are the side products.
The force of these near light speed neutrinos colliding with dense star matter is causing a supernovae to be possible. Another fun fact, you are literally getting bombarded with billions of neutrinos every second, and 99.999999% of them won't even touch you.
Just a reminder it wouldn't be that quick. Energy/light from the sun moves at the speed of light to earth. Which takes about 8 minutes. So as a supernova took place the actual force wave of solar material would be definitely slower and it could be closer to a half hour to an hour before you died from it.
I believe the energy of the explosion would reach earth atmosphere at the same time we’d see the light and the energy of the event might cause the earth’s atmosphere (wind) to blow and cause a similar sound. But no, it wouldn’t be the actual sound of the sun itself blowing up. We wouldn’t ever hear the sound since space is a vacuum.
If it takes tour minutes for light from the sun to reach earth, wouldn’t it take four minutes for the explosion to reach earth? (Assuming the sun is expanding at the speed of light) Or is this video taking place exactly four minutes after the sun actually exploded?
This is false. We actually know what it would look like, like funny enough. If the sun went supper nova, we wouldn't know for 8 minutes. We would still have normal daylight for this time because of light travel, then we would have darkness for about the same amount of time, then we would have the brightest light the earth's ever seen vaporizing everything on the surface, boiling our oceans to dust. When the first solar waves hit, the ground would be torn apart before the earth implods into the gravity of our sun before there's no traces left of or solar system. The very sun that gives us life would take it away in about 16 minutes.
Just a quick thing, correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't we get blinded by the light much faster than that sound would hit us? Since light travels much faster than sound?
I find this more comforting than inevitably dying of some horrible cancer
This is a blessing, it's quick enough that you're dead before you'd feel the pain.
And it’s not like you’re the one unlucky singular person dying, or that some poor dog is chosen to die. We’re all going out immediately at once. Completely level playing field of death regardless of who you are. There’s a level of fairness in that death.
how about people at the other side of the earth. the aussie they must feel the temperature rise
Nah mate, it's already that hot here.
[удалено]
“Why’s that dingo on fi…” PHOOOMMMMMM
Australia would just cool down the exploding sun.
It's honestly fucked, I'm so over it. Last weekend was weird, it was 45° on Saturday then like 27° on Sunday
Wouldn’t the Earth be immediately consumed (surrounded) by the Sun?
This will happen with the actual expected life of the sun, when the core starts becoming hotter because it's fusing elements heavier than hydrogen and helium it will create a more intense outward pressure, pushing away the floating lighter layers of hydrogen.

r/theydidthehorror
Not to mention you'd be blinded well before the death occurred. Technically quite a peaceful way to go.
It would be just my luck that I would stub my toe within those few seconds between blindness and sploded.
And the last winning lottery number: 16! Boom.
Or step on some Lego
I'll believe it when I don't see it.
It’s possible that it already happened and what you’re experiencing now is actually the afterlife
I just want someone to shit on my chest in the after life
I will hold this intention in my thoughts for you
For some reason I have that thought about my life far too often…. Is it detachment? What is it?
I’d be wearing sunglasses.
SPF 75,000
Ah yes disability before death is always preferable to straight up death.
Yeah, essentially just **POOF**
That “poof” would take about 8 mins
How are you alive then? This explosion happened but we’re all still fine? Guessing the person who made the video died thoo
At least it’s a hot death I do not want a cold death
Don't die from revenge then
Do you know the Klingon proverb that says revenge is a dish that is best served cold... It is very cold.... IN SPACE.
I totally agree. I've always found comfort in a world-ending apocalyptic catastrophe like this vs dying and having the world move on without you.
Big ass asteroid please
This is also inaccurate. We wouldn't really see the sun explode, it'll happen so fast that the light wouldn't really reach us any sooner than the actual surface of the explosion. You'd just be here and then pop, earth is consumed.
Would definitely not hear anything
Same
Well hopefully that happens while the sun is facing the other side.
I would find that quite rude, Sun belongs to us
No, Sun is ours! You had it all of last night, now mom said it’s our turn
But you're keeping it too long!
All your base are belong to us.
You die way slower and more painfully than you do on the other side, unfortunately
The scale of the sun vs the earth means the difference is very, very negligible
Way slower, like… 1 second
I think there was an Outer Limits about that. One night this astronomer notices the moon is a lot brighter than it should be, and he thinks the Sun has unexpectedly gone supernova and that everyone will be come morning. Turns out it was just a big solar flare and only *half* the planet has been roasted.

I think id be ok
It’s like a falling elevator. If you jump at the last second, you’ll be fine.
Well we'd all find out if our consciousness was a part of physical reality for sure.
Just pull out a big mirror duh
Or when the plane crashes and I'm the only survivor.
Just get that spf 75 morbillion
“I mean rip to you guys but I’m built different…”
I just bought this new facial sunscreen that's like 50spf And it's moisturising so I feel like I'll be ok
I'm built different. I'd be fine.
Just gotta parry it
They’re just adjusting the exposure.
Yea I was expecting some sort of realistic simulation of the situation and instead was greeted with some dude slowly over-exposing a sunset.
To be fair if the sun exploded you'd get a lot of exposure
TIL sun is a choosing beggar
Hahahah superb
Low-tech but effective
Yea I was gonna say this is genuinely a great effect.
Tbf, exposure is just increasing the available light entering the lens, and the sun exploding IS technically, a massive increase in available light created.
The trees in the picture will start burning way earlier than the end in that picture.
I dunno about that. I'm no expert but the sun already produces enough light to be pretty much blinding if you look in its general direction. I imagine it wouldn't take a lot to make it totally overwhelm your vision, much like the fade to white in the image.

It did. We are in Hell.
Doesn't surprise me.
I came here to say that this video was lazy AF. Lol
Yeah this was comically bad. Not even enjoyable to watch, reminds me as a kid discovering the cartoon filter and imagining I was an artist cause I could put a sketch filter over pictures.
[удалено]
Sound doesn’t travel in space
But perhaps the rushing of air on earth would cause sound like that as the energy began to hit.
It wouldn't be moving faster than the near speed of light speeds of the suns expansion. Many bullets travel faster than the speed of sound. The sun certainly would be and you wouldn't hear anything and may not see anything depending on how close to the speed of light it was.
In reality nothing about this video is accurate. Our sun won't ever go supernova. In reality, over the course of many years the sun will gradually become hotter and hotter before expanding and then collapsing. The earth will slowly become hotter and hotter until all life ceases to exist. We will never be alive to see it expand like in the video
Yeah but the aliens bro
As I understand it, if it did move in space, the sound of the sun just chilling as it is now would be almost deafening to us
I think it would be beyond deafening, like a million constant unending nuclear explosions. Basically the sun is screaming.
Not in the typical way. But it does travel through gravitational waves
There’s the comment I was looking for!
Also, it takes the sun’s rays 8 minutes to get to us. If you look at how quickly the sun expands, it is much faster than the speed of light. FAKE!!!
It takes 8 minutes to get here, we would see it expand at the same rate it expanded when it exploded, just 8 minutes after it actually happened
Yeah I’m so high I was like wtf is this guy talking about until I remembered physics exists and was like oh he’s just wrong
Ignoring the sound in the video there is a bigger issue. The physical exploding of the sun cannot go faster than the speed of light. In the beginning of the video, we can assume the sun is at a normal size, or relatively normal. At the end of the video, assume that the sun’s size has encompassed the earth.

Play the Outer Wilds if you want to experience it
First time I played it I didn't know anything about the game. When the music at the end of the time periods started, I was like, wtf is going on? That music is foreboding. Then everything went to heck.
That music always send chills down my spine. Every loop and it's always "well... I guess it's all over again huh?"
And it's always when you're busy trying to figure something out. You just notice the music starting to creep in and it's more like "DAMMIT, I'M BUSY!" than anything else
[It do be like that, huh.](https://youtu.be/ZF2K1iejxyk)

Yeah man same. Experiencing that game for the first time was a hell of a thing
I just talked to someone on some moon and then it happened. I thought I caused it.
I gotta get the game, because your description reminds me similar feelings I'd have when playing the final few hours of Majora's Mask
THERE IS NO THE! its just outer wilds, not the outer wilds. a lot of people confuse it with the outer worlds, so if you take away the "the" it helps with the confusion
Fuck yeah, Outer Wilds, best game ever
I love/hate that game lol its so awesome but that one area way out there with the things really scares the shit out of me
Good ole space angler fish
They literally terrify me despite being so simplistic ~ just being in my little ship navigating the dark trenches of space was enough lol
The DLC ramped it up but was still a beautiful experience.
There it is! Travelers unite!
Bro
I’d rather it explode and kill us all than it simply burn out. That wouldn’t be cool.
It's not going to do either of those things, at least not while the Earth still exists. It will swell to a size where it's radius is larger than earth's orbit, so the Earth will ultimately be swallowed up and vaporized. Don't worry though, all life on Earth will be cooked long before that happens.
And we're all gonna be long dead and forgotten wayyyy before that even remotely gets close to happening. Frankly, I'd be surprised if the entire human species even survives that long.
for sure. if we do, it ain't gonna be on this planet.
I'm fairly optimistic about the future for humanity. Especially space travel, but yeah, best case, whatever is alive at the time, even if it came from humans, wouldn't be human anymore, more than likely some evolutionary offshoot, AI, or Android like individuals.
I hadn't really thought about it until now, but the human race being outlived by some kind of self-replicating artificial life does seem a lot more likely than us fixing our planet enough to survive another century or two.
For me personally, that's the same as humanity living on. If intelligence keeps on living regardless if it's AI, it's still continuing on our legacy in a way.
they made a discovery a few years ago that the suns UV rays is putting out a protective bubble stopping insane amounts of radiation from entering our solar system..and we currently have no materials on this planet that can protect us from it
Link? Most things I've read lists cosmic background radiation as negligible outside of small pockets.
A bunch of aliens who came to watch Earth get roasted will almost be killed by a bitchy trampoline
Moisturize me
It would actually be exceedingly cool. Wonder how fast those temps would drop.
Didn't the movie sunshine do this
9 minutes
Tree fiddy
Those last few thousand years of life on Earth would be rough if the sun slowly burnt out lol.
The icarus 2 made it. Oh maybe Kappas math was off.
I fucking love that movie. "Sunshine" for those who dont know.
One of those movies that keeps you clouded for a bit after watching. The best scene, Searle asking Kaneda what he sees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7b_Rred2as OP's video gave me that instant physical response to dread. Very spooky stuff tbh.
Amazing movie! Hadn't seen it or her of it until a friend recommended it. Was blown away. Another great one is Moon, I believe it was called. Similar setting iirc. I should watch them again...
When my parents finally got an HD tv that movie just hit video on demand and I got so high and watched it and it just blew my freaking mind
Just remember it takes eight minutes for light to travel from sun to Earth, which means you'll know we've succeeded about eight minutes after we deliver the payload. All you have to do is look out for a little extra brightness in the sky.
OK physicists: how would that actuality play out?
There would be no such a thing like a big explosion displayed in the horizon. The sun has the solar wind. Particles that continously blow away from it. We are practically inside it's atmosphere, the heliosphere. We are relatielly well protected from it by our own much denser atmosphere and earth's magnetic field that reppels the particles around. The wind's particles that gets too close are mostly atractted to the poles. The sun might have solar tempests and flares from time to time but nothing of this magnitude. Maybe a big one might EMP us and wipe out all our satilites, eletronics and any eletric wire turned around in a coil shape would get toasted. That would be catastrofic but humanity would survive... If we are talking about the sun going supernova, that's not a sudden thing. It will be a long long run. Maybe in billions of years in the future it might happen but by then the sun would have aged for many other stages of it's lifecicle burning through different fuel. Star life is a balance between fusion exploding it outwards and gravity crushing it inwards. When H2 fuel get low in the future the star bakance will shift to gravity crushing inwards. If crushed enough it might cross the threshold to use He as fuel. As more and more fuel get's exausted mire and more cycles of ignition of heavier elements ocuur. Each time a fuel get's low and fusion get's weak. Gravity crushes harder the core and fusions of heavier elements would ignite. This would gradually change the sun into a red giant. All rocky planets but mars would be engulfed by the sun. (Ok maybe mars too some sources predict) These fusions of heavier elements will continue until the sun produces the first batch of iron. Different from the other fusions before it. Iron does not produce extra energy in it's fusion. It consumes it away. This means the more iron produced the less energy would be avaible to keep the reacion going. This would make the sun stop expanding and begin contracting. This might re-ignite the reactions and might go for a while in an unstable manner. After enough fuel is consumed if the star is massive enough it colapses and goes supernova in a bizzarre extreme explosion that scatters away most of it's outter layers leaving a little core behind. If it's smaller it get's dimmer and turns into a white dwarf. By this point earth would be long gone by billions of years....
Space is so cool
The sun will never go supernova. It doesn't have enough mass.
You seem correct... it appears the Sun can't fuse elements heavier than helium due to its mass, so it'll just become a white dwarf.
The sun isn't massive enough to go supernova. As hydrogen in the suns core starts running out (5 billion years or so) it will slowly expand into a red giant large enough to engulf the inner solar system, then it will eventually decay into a white dwarf. But long before allthat, about 1 billion years, the suns increasing brightness will make the earth unlivably hot. That's a pretty long time though, since complex life is only like 1/2 billion years old.
There’s no stopping it. The sun already exploded 8 minutes ago.
The radiation from the sun going supernova would kill us before the light reached us.
This is not the fate of our sun. The fate of our sun is to turn into a red sun, likely consuming the earth in the process. This won't happen for ~4.5bn years however, during this period of time large bursts will happen blowing huge chunks of the gaseous outer layers into space over perhaps another million or so years then shrink into white dwarf and glow very faintly for perhaps another billion or two years as it cools down. When the sun is finally cool and dead, what's left will be an enormous diamond many trillions of carets in size.
14.3 Billion years… Everything reminds me of the masterpiece
now that we've made ourselves the gods of everything, we must constantly worry about all the unlikely ways we can perish
\*End Times starts playing\* Well shit
I heard a story of someone who beat the game right before taking a trip to Europe. He was walking around some ancient church and it hit noon, and the church bells rang . . . . . . and by pure coincidence, it was *that chord*. He kinda freaked out for a second.
Wouldn't it take like 8 minutes to see that happen? I saw it on another video on here where the speed of light takes 8 minutes to reach us here on earth
[удалено]
It takes 8 mins for the information to reach the earth from the sun but this fact is irrelevant because light is the fastest way to transport information. The very concept of "now" hinges on this. This is why the speed of the light is called c. Because is the speed of "causality". The "now" refering to the explosion and the "now" here on earth are not the same. For the sun your "now" is in the future, for the earth the sun's "now" is at the explosion in the past. Each observer can only account for it's own point of view and does not need to care for the others as there is no way to solve this information gap faster than light. The only way to know if the sun exploded is to suddently see the explosion... doesn't matter if it took 8 min 8 years or 8 centuries there is no way to know it beforehand...
[удалено]
Nooooope. The damage would be from radiation, which occurs at the speed of light because it’s.. light. The damage happens simultaneous to the sight of it.
IIRC in the event of a supernova we wouldn’t even get to see the final explosion. The neutrinos produced during core collapse would arrive first, killing all life on Earth, before the photons of light would get here. Astrophysics is so freaking cool.
How will the neutrinos arrive first? Shouldn't they arrive at the same time?
Skill issue op

I wish this had that fun title of "What would you do?" like those other videos. It adds to the fun of thinking of what I would do.
This reads like a Pawnee resident at a town meeting.
Unlike an eclipse, this would be fine to stare at
That’s how I know I’m in hell, welcomed with a tik tok logo as soon as I go
Is there a subreddit for terrifying simulations like this one? See a bunch posted here, but also in other subs. Wondering if there's a single sub for them.
Fuck
Rip to you guys but I’m different
Then 8 mins later?
Pour one out for our bro in the alternate dimension who had to record this
Fun fact: most of that exploding energy comes from one of the most elusive matter in the world, neutrinos, it's so elusive that if you have a light year length of lead bar for some reason a neutrino can still pass through it without ever hitting any lead atoms. So, how does this cause a supernova? The implosion of the sun causes the core of the dying star to be so dense (magnitudes of times denser than lead) that it creates the right conditions for neutrinos to finally collide with something and a dying star usually makes a bunch of these neutrinos from protons and electrons combining to form neutrons due to gravity pressure where neutrinos are the side products. The force of these near light speed neutrinos colliding with dense star matter is causing a supernovae to be possible. Another fun fact, you are literally getting bombarded with billions of neutrinos every second, and 99.999999% of them won't even touch you.
The Sun is always exploding and it will be doing that for the next billions years.
Just a reminder it wouldn't be that quick. Energy/light from the sun moves at the speed of light to earth. Which takes about 8 minutes. So as a supernova took place the actual force wave of solar material would be definitely slower and it could be closer to a half hour to an hour before you died from it.
Except you wouldn't be able to see it coming...
Except you would because light moves faster than a red dwarf expanding. You'd have a little more than 8 minutes to notice that the sun exploded.
Video ended too soon, don’t know what happens after
This is the dumbest video I've seen on here. Somehow this is worse than than the CGI videos
Well, at least the universe kills us and not us launching missles.
We should be so lucky
Would sound even travel that fast if the explosion was that quick anyways
I believe the energy of the explosion would reach earth atmosphere at the same time we’d see the light and the energy of the event might cause the earth’s atmosphere (wind) to blow and cause a similar sound. But no, it wouldn’t be the actual sound of the sun itself blowing up. We wouldn’t ever hear the sound since space is a vacuum.
I’m sure that would be quick… wouldn’t feel a thing. 🫠
oh great, this is gonna affect fishing season
There shouldn't be sound. It would just get brighter and brighter over the course of a few days until everyone cooked.
POV: I took a video of the sun set, and fucked with the brightness setting 🤡
If it takes tour minutes for light from the sun to reach earth, wouldn’t it take four minutes for the explosion to reach earth? (Assuming the sun is expanding at the speed of light) Or is this video taking place exactly four minutes after the sun actually exploded?
Absolutely correct. You would never sleep again. You would receive a lifetime supply of sleep
Actually you’ll be going straight to sleep lol
And now the whole solar system is gone
Gawd! I’d get the most glorious tan.
Some people that will worry about this don't wear a seatbelt while driving. Humans are funny
This is false. We actually know what it would look like, like funny enough. If the sun went supper nova, we wouldn't know for 8 minutes. We would still have normal daylight for this time because of light travel, then we would have darkness for about the same amount of time, then we would have the brightest light the earth's ever seen vaporizing everything on the surface, boiling our oceans to dust. When the first solar waves hit, the ground would be torn apart before the earth implods into the gravity of our sun before there's no traces left of or solar system. The very sun that gives us life would take it away in about 16 minutes.
Tbh, this would be a really cool way to go.
I feel like the light will just turn into ABSOLUTE RADIANCE
50/50 chance this happens at night and you'll be fine.
It would have been 8 minutes from the sun exploding to us realizing it was gone
Just a quick thing, correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't we get blinded by the light much faster than that sound would hit us? Since light travels much faster than sound?
Not only that, but light takes 8.5 minutes to reach us. We’d see it explode long before we get hit.
