Has the sun exploded?

Should be as funny as the asteroid threads this.

That is the speed of light.

What is the speed of gravitational force? If the sun were suddenly "removed", how fast will the absent gravitational wave travel at?

Not to mention if it really did explode, then you may get those strange quark interactions where you can affect counter particles instantaneously, regardless of distance.

Im just saying the time it would take to see the effects. the light from the sun that we see on Earth is 8 minutes behind what it actually is. No idea on the time it would take to actually 'feel' it

I think that physics thread (derailed from something else) was probably the best, although there has been a few evolution classics too

We'll never see it explode anyway, eventually when it begins to die it will expand and eventually engulf us before shrinking back and kaboom. It will take it millions of years to die as well, won't be instant

If the sun exploded, without dangerous uv stuff, how long would it be before we got really cold?

We wouldn't

definately.

Plane on a treadmill surely has to be the epitome of OcUK trying (and often failing) to get scientific although 0.99r=1 seemed to be rather entertaining for me since I didn't bother taking part.

Goes to watch "Sunshine".

Don't know what the outcome of that particular discussion was, but it takes off .

Goes to watch "Sunshine".

Pfff, don't bother .

 

[Booner!]

It's getting darker, is this the first signs???

 

[benneh]

I'm afraid you're confusing 'supernova' with 'sunset' .

 

[Azza]

The sun is going down!!!


Will it ever come back?!?

 

[Nix]

I don't know!

Perhaps we should erect some form of shrine and worship our celestial body... you know, just in case.

 

[Kreeeee]

Or all the idiots that thought a plane couldn't take off on a treadmill

 

[silversurfer]

could you mean

Open mouth, insert foot.

feel it/ see it. same thing.

You're obviously not married
