hello Mortals our sun is such a lovely star providing us with light and heat
and skin cancer sometimes you and me would have never existed if not for it
wouldn't it be a shame if we make some slight changes to our solar system and this happens
so let's take a look at what would happen if we replace our sun with some rather exotic
objects from throughout the Universe thanks to Magellan TV for sponsoring this episode
if the sun were to suddenly disappear from the center of the Soul good song Choice solar system
we wouldn't know about it for 8 minutes and 20 seconds I'm always playing this one on my
streams so if you enjoy this song you should come check out my streams that's how long it
takes for its light to reach us and what else travels at the speed of light and what else
travels at the speed of light we wouldn't know about it for 8 minutes and 20 seconds
that's how long it takes for its light to reach us and what else travel yeah we could talk about it
endlessly but we've already done that many times the moon as well is about one and a bit seconds
as well for light so when you look up at the night sky at the Moon you're not seeing it as it is but
one second ago as well as uh the sun eight minutes and 20 seconds ago pulls at the speed of light
gravity that would mean that for roughly eight minutes all the planets would continue orbiting
an empty center of the solar system before they all drift into outer space
now that the sun is gone this is true let's look for a replacement
how about we start with the closest star to the now gone Sun Proxima Centauri it is six
times smaller than the Sun and yet one and a half times as bright so even though the size difference
it would appear bigger in the sky good night Gavin we're almost done we're about to finish in like uh
10 minutes if we'd have a checklist of short-term effects they'd include severe sunburns or should I
say Proxima Centauri Burns and the planets flying off into the darkness due to the weaker gravity
now what if instead of one we would have had two stars a binary system in actuality more
than 50 percent of the star systems contain at least two stars for starters that would
make the orbits of the planets very complex if the chaos theory is anything to guide by
from a probability standpoint we'll be at a gleam some of that how true that is by uh
with jwc and looking at spying exoplanets and even the atmosphere so that's exciting exciting
times the knights would probably be very short and depending on the type of the Stars the days would
look different the first half of the day could have a blue sky and the other half a red one or
purple if both stars shine on the same side of the planet simultaneously oh and forget about the Four
Seasons we'd have like 20 flesh melting Summers and some chilly Winters so on the checklist we'd
have deadly sunburns multicolored Sky well it also depends on the planet and what it's doing as well
you can have tidally locked things like the moon where you know one side is perpetually summer
pretty weird orbits and a lot of vitamin C may be slightly too much of it Milky Way the pistol star
for starters that means no more Earth as its orbit would be engulfed by the outer layer of the star
considering it's 10 million times as bright as the sun you'd go blind even if you stood on Pluto
you'd probably also die but the sky would look really brightly blue at least so that's nice but
we can go even bigger let's replace the sun with the biggest known star in the universe Stevenson
2 18 now even looking from Pluto wouldn't save you this monster would engulf the entire solar
system if you were to travel at the speed of light through the star from one side to another it would
take you three entire hours meanwhile for the sun it would be 10 seconds it gets much bigger as well
but before we get on to the bigger stuff you should come check out something I've created uh
it's a post called VPN and can literally protect you from chronic computers and that's going to be
important going forward so the beta is up come check it out my friends it's in the description
and just in case this wasn't big enough for you let's try a quasi star
these ex quasi-style uh quasi-star quasi style however you want to pronounce it but these things
are theoretical these things um might not exist my friends the Giants probably used to live in the
early Universe they grew when they said probably that is not the case I don't I not many people
have that convince these things existed they could have uh one of the reasons why we think
about these things is because we have to explain some way that galaxies uh got so big so quickly
black holes got so big so quickly there's lots of mysteries surrounding the early universe and
what the [ __ ] happened basically grew so big that their core collapsed into a black hole and
started slowly devouring it from the inside out if the New Horizon space probe traveled for 20
years exiting the solar system it would only then not be engulfed if a quasi-star replaced the sun
in the very early Universe you know it was much smaller the universe itself it's just more dense
right and so you had more gas and stuff coalescing because it was closer and you know collapsing into
far bigger you know things but no you know energy is created or destroyed in this universe at least
we think unless you know ignoring our particles popping in and out of existence but you know the
virtual particles whether they exist or not that's up for the bait the black holes you know the black
hole information Paradox maybe they're actually deleting information we don't know but size isn't
the only parameter that can make a space object extreme take a look at neutron stars oh hello NB
you caught us right at the end black hole wannabes that just didn't have what it takes neutron stars
are usually small no more than 20 kilometers in size if one replaced the sun it would be barely
visible and yet it would Doom the entire solar system as all the objects would fall towards it
and get instantly crushed under the insane gravity if enough um no that's not true enough matter
falls into it it could get past its critical point and make its parents proud so on our checklist
we'd have the transformation it could get past its critical point and make its parents proud so
I don't think if we replaced um the sun with a neutron star if you replaced it with a neutral
star that had the same mass as the sun I actually like nothing's going to collapse you got you could
cause some instability uh things might keep going on doing what they're doing if you get hit with
its uh the pulses of the radiation spewing out at the poles which is what they do and when they
flash Earth we call them pulsars I don't think much would happen because yeah they're so small
but they've got so much mass crammed in there you don't have to do much to our solar system to make
it sort of fly apart and things go wrong there's studies recently showing that if a star come
what was it exactly even I can't remember how close but like even a little bit closer all you
have to do is uh I can't remember the exact stat but basically it would send Uranus potentially
collapsing inwards or Mercury flying out so on our checklist we'd have the transformation of the
earth into a neutronic omelet but if that sounds through an omelette I like how he's playing into
the you know the nuclear plaster and things like that which we think you know just these
terms we give to the stuff potentially happening inside those Stars we'd have the transformation
of the earth nuclear pass now it's not nuclear it's something else pasta I can't remember to a
neutronic omelet but if that sounds boring increase the neutron star's magnetic field
1000 times over and you get a magnetor magnetic magnetar would be 100 trillion times stronger than
Earth's magnetic field so most magnetic field isn't that strong guys add to the checklist
the complete obliteration of Earth's magnetic field and pretty much any Electronics on Earth
and if that's still not enough maybe maybe you'd have to do the calculations to see how far um it
would extend it might not actually be all that bad I guess it got hit with the pulses that would be
bad in the solar system but um that goes the same for just a normal neutron star probably because
it's also spewing stuff out at those poles but it really depends our planet's orbit neutron stars
which I don't I'm not aware give the neutron star a good spin so that it rotates every millisecond
and just because today we just launched the um we launched Calvary PN the beta so come get it
but Pulsar which emits radiation beams through its poles a pulsar is just a neutron star did he
did he say that neutron star a good spin so that it rotates every millisecond and you have a pulp
they all rotate like that just FYI they're all pulsized it's just their pulse they're they're
not generally pointed in our Direction sorry which emits radiation beams through its poles
considering the proximity from the earth I wonder if I can do this song with this such a beam were
to intersect with us it would try the atmosphere and anything on the surface of the Earth with
it in a couple of milliseconds and if neutron stars were some you'd have to work this stuff
out I think he's just claiming this stuff but I mean there's probably articles and things papers
people have written so hopefully he's looked into this because I don't know this personally
somewhat extreme let's get to the champions of the universe the black and white holes
white holes completely theoretical there's really no evidence for these things Rory with
black holes is fairly straightforward have won the mass of the Sun replace the Sun and nothing
happens except the slow freezing of the planet due to the lack of sunlight however humans might
barely Escape extinction by surviving off of alternative energy sources but make the black
hole the same size as the sun in the game over screen comes up much faster you'll at least have
a nice view in the sky during your last days but replace the sun-sized black hole with the largest
black hole in the universe and your Sky would look entirely black and not only the sky but
everything because no photons would hit your eyes because you'd be inside the black hole probably
dead I was ready for this good good jugs most likely dead definitely dead but that was to be
expected what's lesson to happen if instead of a black hole we'd have a white hole in the center of
the solar system as a quick reminder white holes are the mathematical inverse of black holes if
nothing can exit the one nothing can enter the other we don't really know what they would look
like since they are completely hypothetical so we'll just go with the opposite of black
but a common misunderstanding is that a certain anti-gravity Force yeah that's not exactly correct
I pushes things away from the edge of the white hole instead like any things with mass white
holes attract matter towards their Singularity the same way black holes do the only difference
is that in-falling matter would never reach the singularity so if we had one replacing our sun
it would mirror the same outcome as having a black hole up until the Event Horizon once
passed assuming the Earth wouldn't get vaporized it would start its Eternal Journey towards the
singularity resulting from some fancy math I don't think this is actually correct I don't know where
they found this information but I'm pretty sure this is incorrect anyway that neither you nor me
can understand after an infinite amount of time a white hole would transform into a black hole
so at the end of our Eternal Journey which will spewing misinformation here now will
never take place we would still find ourselves at the heart of a black hole which might be slightly
disappointing so in a way we should be thankful to our son it gives us six more billion years
to sort our [ __ ] and pack our luggage here on Earth to travel to some new homes before
it engulfs Earth as a red supergiant so make sure to embrace its sunlight just use Sun cream
because apparently any amount of tanning at all is bad for your skin so take care
yeah can you tell Elon uh to hurry up and get us off this planet so uh yeah we you
know just to take this guy's advice but um also I just wanted to mention yeah so the white hole
stuff that is actually not you know some people actually suspect uh the beginning of our universe
could have been from like a white hole and so he's actually quite incorrect there I believe
and but also keep in mind like what he said about white holes as well we don't know anything about
them or whether or not they're real it doesn't look like they are real but anyway it could be
