Really doubt they lost the sun as there would be a LOT of other implications such as the planet flinging out into empty space and freezing over. Much more likely that the world is just covered in smog blocking out the sun. Love ur video btw.

@@liquidsweg4858 I want you to realize this is a thread under a video about a game where the sun went out and nothing happened to the people on the planet, and this specific thread is about said science of that incident, that YOU WILLINGLY tapped/clicked on.

[@kabob21]

@@Marcusianery No, the sun will start to expand as it runs out of hydrogen and helium until it turns into a red giant. The core will continue to fuse heavier and heavier elements as it gets hotter and more dense. Earth will be irradiated and scorched into a lifeless rock long before that happens and eventually most of the inner planets will be absorbed by the expanding red giant. Nuclear fusion at the core will eventually stop when the core starts to fuse into iron. Once that happens our sun will no longer be able to maintain equilibrium with its own gravity and collapse in on itself and then explode in a supernova. It's too small to turn into a black hole so it'll wind up a white dwarf. This is, of course, billions of years in the future.

[@bandgeekforlife406]

The world of this game sounds horrific. I don't want to live forever, neither do I want my body "repossessed" by the government, and there are enough other people out there who hold bodily autonomy as an important boundary that I don't think the government could actually pass a law to force it... but they'd probably try if they had the chance. God, I hope they never do. Death is a part of life. It's sad, but I think it's one of the reasons why taking joy in the people and world around you are important- they, and you, won't be there forever. Remember, folks- the government doesn't own you, and the government *shouldn't* own you.

[@GiRR007]

Do you really own something if you cant sell it or even give it away? If someone does indeed sell their body to the government then id say that yeah the government does own them. Something being a part of life doesn't mean it should continue to be part of life, disease is part of life and yet we routinely get rid of them, death is no different, the ultimate disease.

[@enuriel2732]

if consciousness is taken by the government by the time we are repossessed then does that mean a part of us know we are stored like files in a harddrive somewhere like we can see ourselves with no body and just consciousness thats wild

We appreciate how well you've articulated your insights. Keep doing your best.

[@fixedG]

It strikes me as a bit derivative of Altered Carbon in setting and premise, where it's a semi-dystopic, noire future where technology has allowed effective immortality and uncoupling the consciousness of a person from their original physical form, and the wealthy and powerful abuse it. But maybe it's more of an homage. And then again, if "immortality" is the trope, it's all derivative of the Epic of Gilgamesh.

[@overdoseproductions9011]

[@AnvilPictures]

If people are confused if why the Sun didn’t go supernova when it died. Is because according to nasa, The Sun will never turn into a black hole because it’s not massive enough to explode. Instead, the Sun will become a dense stellar remnant called a white dwarf.

[@stanmanlyman4550]

it will turn into a red giant though. Consuming mercury, venus and earth( though the last one has been questioned lately ) After that - white dwarf :)

[@enuriel2732]

maybe it didnt die just too much pollution and environmental damage like the matrix

Perhaps VR games are like that all the time! But the more Harry explained, the less I liked it. Like the devs were gradually turning the 'bonkers' dial up, to see how mad the story could be. Still, very interesting, for all that.
