Should we extinguish the sun?
fireknight40:
Then we destroy everything else to!
Elessar Telrunya:
420 has finally crossed the line from every-day villany to cartoonish super-villany!

Mo:
I beg to differ. It is unknown why the core of the Earth produces heat. It is also suggested that the Earth is losing it's own heat gradually.
Also:
--- Quote ---Additional evidence is in the observation that planets which are farther away from the sun are losing heat faster than they are acquiring it from the sun. They apparently acquired their heat during their creation.
--- End quote ---
The Sun not only provides life to countless of orginisms it also provides life for the Earth itself. Remove the Sun and the Earth would float off into space gradually dying and eventually (sooner rather than later) turning into a lifeless sphere of rock and solid metals before it crashes into another planet, star, blackhole or what not.
Idea = very bad. (not to mention impossible)
Throbblefoot:
I see that the community is divided on this important question, and I want to clarify my position: I chair the Sun and Moon Protection Association (SAMPA), whose core goals are:
1: Protect the Sun (and Moon, should it become a target) from 420's aggressive theories.
2: Promote friendship with 420, despite his hostilities to the Sun and the Bodies that orbit the Sun, including the Earth.
We're reaching out our olive branch of peace: 420, won't you give peace a chance?

Tea-cup:
I agree with Mo,
The sun is one of the main reazons of life like we know it now. And changing, lets stand destroying the sun is something impossible. (way too stable, and somewhat hot) It's easyer to wait till it runs out of it hydrogen reserves. Takes a nice 5 billion years.
I think there isn't 1 single reazon to destroy her, she serves us well, and we can't without her. She isn't going to change to the stage of a red gaint in the near future anyway. She's also one of the most stable fusion reactors we know. If detroyed, the earth wouldn't rotate around the sun anymore, but just fly to who knows where in space.
When the sun get a red gaint, I would go to a moon around Jupiter. The temperature there will be around 3�° while the earth is metling. And when the sun becomes a white Jupiter could be used as small sun. By trying to get as much as possible hydrogen out of the near space that the sun is throwing out and giving the start of the fusion and maintain it (Jupiter never will be able to have a stable fusion reactor because it lacks enough mass for that, and I don't think enough hydrogen will be captured by it's gravity from the sun). If humans still exist by then, there's a change that they will be advanced enough to manage this. If no big problems show up, like Jupiter having a solid core, what is perfectly possible.
Ah, and didn't vote, I don't see a option that match my point of view well enough.
