Hi Christian. It is a great explanation. It really is. Missed your videos and streams. However I have a little question. If our understanding, about what will have happened to the Sun is right, then why we don’t have any fusion reactors at the moment? I guess everything you had been talking is only one of many possible explanations. Despite it might be the most apparent explanation at the moment, but the more discoveries we gonna make in the future, in different industries of science, the more likely this explanation is going to be corrected as much, as we never ever would have imagined.

@thenasadude6878

4 жыл бұрын

The fusion phenomenon is very well understood, partially because we can look at it every day with relative ease in the sun. The problem is that controlled fusion needs the extreme conditions mentioned by Christian (millions of degrees, absurd pressures). To avoid creating an accidental H bomb, very clever containment must be put in place. Since no material can handle such conditions, the containment must be in the Form of magnetic fields etc. Powering these fields takes so much energy, that all the power leaving the reactor must be used for them, and it's not even enough. Fusion reactors exist, but they absorb energy to work instead of producing it, so they are pointless. At least for now. I'm quite confident someone will figure it out.

@LaunchPadAstronomy

4 жыл бұрын

^^^ What he said. Fusion is possible, but it's just very difficult to achieve. But it is being worked on and should be online in the next 50 years or so. Of course, they started saying that 50 years ago... :)

Good detailed coverage on this topic. Now regarding your last far flung scenario It is worth noting that if we can somehow survive our current crisis and expand beyond Earth there is no need to abandon the Earth or other inner planets as with careful foresight over millions of years you can move the planets outwards using orbital slingshot maneuvers alone. AN interesting approach might be to do that while transferring orbital angular momentum from Jupiter to say Venus Earth Mars and other desirable colonies Ceres Vesta and other significant asteroids and wholly artificial colonies. Eventually as the Sun's time runs short you could perhaps even add them to Jupiter's system or another of the giant planets as in principal they could all work just it would be a bit harder. That would let you apply those ideas that could turn Jupiter into an effective Rocket ship by triggering localized nuclear fusion(I don't know if fusion will ever be energy efficient but it doesn't need to be in order to use it as a rocket after all the Sun and fission could provide all the energy you would need. The solar system has potentially four such potential "ships" though the ice giants are a bit limited in their usefulness. There is something beautiful about the concept of using a star or giant planet as a space ship why abandon your home when you can take it to go? Plus Ganymede is so close to the threshold where it could hold onto oceans that the other Galilean moons could make up the difference if you really wanted to. Now it is also worth noting that late last year in early December we got the first direct confirmation that exoplanets or at least giant exoplanets can survive the death of their star so I guesses they might not even need to leave perhaps that loose material could be easily captured from the Sun allowing it be put to use for something.

Something else to worry about !!

Just as I thought, the sun does not really die, it becomes something else.

Soo.. What about the transition from pulsating red giant to planetary nebula/dust cloud?

I have a question, when the sun becomes a white dwarf, what will happen to the gas giants? Is the sun's gravity still strong enough to keep them in orbit, or will they drift away to interstellar space? It's Interesting to hear that the earth could either be swallowed by the sun OR it could be pushed to mars' orbit. I just never heard that possibility before. Amazing video by the way. Your presentation was very clear and easy to understand. I just found your video in my recommended list and finding your channel made my day. Keep up the good work!

With star lifting we could extend the life of our sun and we could even change the orbit of our planet. Perhaps one day with millions of years of technology we can move the Earth to a new solar system or create our own new sun.

Just had an idea, you should contact John Michael Godier and see if he will have you on his show as a guest, that'd make a great collaboration and most likely help your channel.

Picture any explosion animation from literally any game with explosions, then scale it up to billions of years. Thumbs up if I saved you 14 minutes.

At the time of the descent of the Quran, people believed that the light of the stars would last forever. This at a time when the inner structure of the stars was a mystery and the fact that the energy of the stars would, one day, be exhausted was not known. The Quran’s prediction about the end of the stars is a miraculous statement. 2- When the planets are scattered. (82- The Shattering, 2) While the verses speak of the putting out of stars, the planets, that are not light sources, will scatter. The Arabic word for a star is “najm,” while “kavkab” is a planet. Given the fact that the planets are dependent on a central star, when this star is no more, the planets will necessarily scatter. (There have been translators who translated both words as stars without heeding the difference between them.) But when we look at the usage of these two words in the Quran, we think that such a distinction has to be made. Planets are not light sources, therefore their extinction is out of question. The Quran displays its miraculous attribute in all its statements. 1- When the sun is rolled. (81- The Rolling, 1) The Arabic word “takwir” refers to the wrapping of the turban around the head in a spiral form; it also means the rolling or winding of a thing into a ball or round mass, or around something. The scene describes how the end of the sun will come. Like all the other stars, our sun also consumes hydrogen atoms by transforming them into helium atoms and releasing energy in the form of radiation, heat and light. The transformation of hydrogen into helium stops with the exhaustion of the hydrogen. Even without the effect of other potential causes, the sun will have to come to an end for this reason. Before their extinction, the stars, according to their sizes, pass through such phases as red giant, white dwarf or black hole. In view of its magnitude, our sun must turn first into a red giant before dying. The sun has been a subject of worship in the history of mankind. People who did not believe in the end of the universe considered the sun itself to be an immortal divinity and thought that the universe and the earth would last eternally; there have been those who believed in the transmigration of souls everlastingly. Having eventually been convinced by scientific discoveries that the world was doomed to die one day, the minds that idolized the sun and the belief in the eternal reincarnation cycle lost their support. The belief in the Hereafter described in the Quran and the end of the universe are interconnected as the stages of a system. Taking cognizance of the fact that the end of the universe will eventually come has reinforced the belief in the Hereafter. 7- And verily the Hour is coming, no doubt about it, and that God will resurrect those who are dead. (22- The Pilgrimage, 7) The description of the end of the universe in the Quran relating to the end of the sun and of the world is given in striking colors. What the people at the Prophet’s time knew about astronomy could not possibly have permitted them to describe such occurrences. Muslims who lived at the time of the revelation of the Quran believed in all these, not because of scientific deductions but because they had faith in the fact that it was easy for God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, to destroy them. All the statements of the Quran about the disappearance of the stars, the sun and the earth are corroborated today by scientific discoveries. EARTHQUAKES WITH BOILING SEAS 4- When the earth will be shaken up. (56- The Inevitable, 4) When the Hour comes, the entire earth will be shaken by a terrible earthquake. The Quran says that the tremor will cause mountains to be pulverized, and men will run to and fro in panic. As for the sea, we have the following indications: 6- When the seas boil. (81- The Rolling, 6) When the seas are suffered to burst forth. (82- The Shattering, 3) An earthquake will pulverize mountains, hot lava will burst forth from many corners of the earth. Volcanoes will erupt and lava will rise from the sea. It is unlikely that the depiction of the end of the world was an exaggeration of natural disasters that Muhammad experienced in his lifetime. The area where Muhammad lived was not on a major earthquake fault-line and those who spent most of their lives in the middle of desert, most likely, never witnessed the eruption of a volcano in mid-ocean! 5- When the wild beasts are summoned. (81- The Rolling, 5) The Quran draws our attention to the herding together of animals. We know today that animals react to a tremor even before we, as human beings, realize it. This is a domain in which further research studies are being conducted. 3- And when the earth is flattened out. (84- The Splitting, 3) 4- And when it throws out whatever it contains and is empty. (84- The Splitting, 4) The contents of the earth, the magma, the molten rock, will rise to the surface as lava, as described in the verses quoted. The Quran would like us to turn our attention to the most serious event of earth history to come. Advanced science has demonstrated that the end of the world and the universe is inevitable. No one can assert any longer that the stars and the sun will shine forever, and that the universe and the earth will abide to eternity. 18- Are they waiting until the Hour comes to them suddenly? Its signs have already appeared. How can they benefit then when it has come upon them? (47- Muhammad, 18) The end of the universe and of the world is the most serious event next to its formation. Riches, reputations, situations, families, beauty, ugliness, joy, distress will be no more. Superiority will no longer be measured by riches, possessions and high offices. Now, “superiority” will depend on the sort of life man has led. From the scenery of the end of the universe and the world described in the Quran, there are lessons to draw in this life of ours. All these are not for the mere sake of knowing. What is communicated has as its objective to move people and guide them to God. We must bear in mind the third verse of the 56th sura: 3- It will lower some, and raise others. (56- The Inevitable, 3)

This assumes that we (or our descendants) won't do anything about it, which we're likely to do. If we can get starlifting working, we can remove material from the sun, changing its fate. And even if we can't do that, we're likely to do something about Earth, like nudging it further out in time. (Or possibly pick it apart to use as material for our huge Dyson swarm, depending on how sentimental we are.)

So an ideal star for us would be one which is smaller than our current one (so it has a longer lifetime) and bigger than a red dwarf (so it is not very active in terms of solar storms and won't break down the atmosphere) ?

@@LaunchPadAstronomy Sorry about your loss, and it's good to hear you're getting back into it. The first video of yours I watched was of the habitability of red dwarfs as I have often wondered under what circumstances they'd be habitable. But due to the close distance of the habitable zone resulting in likely tidally locked planets, the best guess I could come up with would be a planet-sized moon orbiting a gas giant in the habitable zone of the red dwarf. This would give it the warmth needed, and a fairly large magnetosphere to protect from flares and radiation.

@4:48 Q: in what way does the "temperature" of a degenerate gas rise without expansion? Isn't temperature defined as the motion of atoms? If they are squeezed so close together that electron degeneracy prevents them moving/vibrating any closer ("occupying the same location at the same energy"), they cannot "expand" / "cool". Surely, degenerate matter couldn't increase it's classically defined "temperature" as the component atoms cannot vibrate any further into the surrounding space (occupied by other atoms). Apologies, from a non-physics grad with a Trump level understanding of "temperature"
