Should we destroy the sun?

[The Yankee]

You are crazy .

I do agree it's too hot though. How about moving farther away from the sun ?

The sun might chase us down....besides, that's too much effort. What we need is an invasion and swift action.

 

[MummyMan]

I LOVE the heat, and hate the cold, so no, bring on the rays!

 

[Chairman Meow]

It's only 30 degrees here, it needs to be warmer, not colder!

*waiting for the wrath of the entire United States for using the Celsius scale*

Fine by me, I know how hot 30 degrees is in Celsius.

So are we going forward with my plan or what?

 

[The Yankee]

I think my plan is more complete....especially if the Sun brings in some allies. Once we break through the front lines, we can torch the place.

OK, I understand now. Just one thing, how do you suppose going about increasing the value of the permittivity of vacuum?

I was planning on hacking God's laptop. (If you doubt that He has a laptop, and that messing with it can have very real consequences for the creation, you've obviously not read the Swedish comic Herman Hedning "Herman the Heathen".)

No, it's not. There are organisms on the ocean floor that are completely unconnected with the sun.

Hang on there a minute. They need the Sun to keep the oceans hot enough to be fluid, rather than attaining thermal equilibrium with the cosmic background (at about -270 centigrade).

You guys are crazy! It is cold enough in Canada as it is. Doesn't anyone think about the Canadians!?

excuse me while I laugh at all those Canadians who are cold *laughs at all Canadians who have snow*

Here, it is about 18,19 degrees (celcius, to those stuck with Farenhuit, in the Stone Ages), sunny, and very nice, thank you very much!

If I may, the question ought not to be "Should we destroy the sun?"

The question ought to be "How should we destroy the sun?"

 

[hawai_74]

this question reminds a pink floyd's song, what it's name?

 

[Lord Draegon]

Yes Blow up the Sun. You can use my nuclear arsenal. Your rifles will do nothing

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Instead of blowing up the sun, maybe we can just put a hood on it and try to humiliate it.

ok its : "set the control of the heart of the sun" on Ummagumma album

 

[col]

[pedant] Actually its "Set the controls FOR the heart of the Sun" [/pedant]

Look all we need to do is turn it down a bit in Summer and up a bit in Winter - and maybe turn it on for a little while at night.

 

[The Last Conformist]

Seeing that when it's winter in one hemisphere it's summer in the other, and vice versa, I'm not entirely convinced that's a more practical option than simply blowing the thing up.

 

[CIVPhilzilla]

you are bored

 

[the mormegil]

Instead of blowing it up, maybe we could just run away. Put all our nukes on one side of the earth and blow them up, knocking us off course. Then we can fly through space and find aliens...and stuff.

 

[marioh]

I prefer having the Sun and heat.

You guys seem to be missing the one great thing in this world we're going to lose without the sun and the heat that comes with it.

BIKINIS !!!!!!!!!!
You guys can live in the freezing cold with layers upon layers of clothing on. Me, I'll be on the beach bikini watching.

 

[RoddyVR]

True, most people can tolerate 3°C temperatures.
Many can tolerate 3°F temperatures

But when it gets into the 3°K range, I think people will start complaining...

lol. how much you want to bet that at 3° Kelvin, NOONE will be doing ANY complaining?!?!

there is MUCH more complaining at 3° F then there could EVER be at 3° K.

 

[The Yankee]

You forgot about hot tubs.

 

[Riesstiu IV]

Good job people, you've made the sun sad! The sun has feelings too...
