The end of the world is nigh...or is it?

CDM is now a professor?

Your the Planetcricket councellor and im Planetcricket professor.

You wouldn't need something as big as the sun, something much smaller and closer would suffice. I dare say when we crack nuclear fusion we could provide enough energy here on earth.

And you wouldn't need hundreds of generations to reach a far planet. Cryogenics or some other form of stasis would be adequate. A long time off, though.

Thats right it could be virtually right next to us and figure the speed it would need for it to take 24 hours per day.

You'll have to explain that one CDM.

Well if you can clone genes surely you can clone the stuff that the sun has. And it will generate a sun.... get me?

With all due respect, you are talking crap - we cannot build another star.

One day people will be playing Age of galaxy and you'll be constructing stars and planets.

What will happen AFTER the world ends?

Hearsay will reunite and release a number 1 hit, Spurs will win the Premiership, Milla Jovovich will win an oscar for best actress and Pete Doherty will lay off the drugs.

Cloning genes is reproducing an identical strain of DNA. The Sun is a complex combination of metals and gases. Even if you could 'generate' a Sun (which you couldn't), how would you get it into the sky? How would you put it in the solar system so everything still orbits around it? How would you make it without incinerating anything on this planet?

I think you are grossly under-estimating the size of The Sun and how much Hydrogen it contains. You could never create that much Hydrogen.

Sounds like a plan

Or he is just taking the p***

Your underrestimating the future and technology their will be a way.

I'm with Sureshot on this one, nothing really can come close to the sun and I doubt anything will. Which means anything near the 'new' sun when it is getting cloned or created(which is impossible due to the mass amount of hydrogen needed) will be incinerated, as Sureshot put it. It is literally impossible. Even if, a massive if, you did get enough hydrogen(Which could only be done through cloning and stuff which is impossible and just never going to be possible really) there is no way that you would be able to get it back into the sky from the planet that it is created on as the sheer velocity(wrong word) of the heat will just destroy everything. How would you launch something so heavy like that and where would you create it CDM?

They would get this big round cube thing and create it all in that and make it travel a bit and release it and if they couldnt do that they might be able to move a star closer to our solar system

Big? That has to be an understatement, it would have to be massive! Where would we get the resources to create something much bigger than the earth? The material would also have to be able to take the heat from the sun and not incinerate(I love this word now!). Bringing a star closer into our solar system is pretty far fetched aswell as even bringing a star a little closer will take an amazing amount of force.

Its not like this is happening tomorrow its happening in around 3 billion years!

I wasn't insinuating that it is happening tomorow.

We use the sun for more than just heat, what about our gravity? Or shall we just attach ourselves to strings and hope the atmosphere doesn't float away? You'd never be able to produce enough energy to keep the Earth at the same heat as it is now, if the Sun didn't exist. But then it's pointless anyway, the stage of the sun dying involves it engulfing the Earth, so we wouldn't have a planet to heat.

I was speaking in the hypothetical, purely for energy.

What do you mean about "our gravity"? Yes the gravity keeping the earth in orbit around the sun is caused partly by the sun (and by partly by the Earth's own gravity.) However the Earth gravitational field, is what keeps us on the earth. If anything the sun's gravity would pull us from the earth (it doesn't, obviously.) Moreover we would have no need to orbit the sun if it isn't supplying us with energy, so to just free fall through space wouldn't have too much an effect (other than collisions etc.)

As part of the Sun's cycle of "life" we would be destroyed, so i agree, this is a ridiculous discussion.

You wouldn't need to heat the whole earth, just certain habitable parts. Using huge structures similar to Greenhouses.

Hydrogen supplies would be a problem for creating the vast amount of energy. However would people stop using the term cloning. It makes you seem stupid.
Cloning is the production of identical organism as the same DNA code is used. You cannot clone an element which has no DNA

Hydrogen is a very simple element, which could in theory be produced from the breaking down of larger elements. But that is not feasible. Perhaps some form of mining on extra-terrestrial bodies (Europa has ice)

This is all very Sci-fi isn't it?

Fusions releases vast amounts of energy. Google hydrogen bombs.

Another great idea, we can use strings.

Now excuse me for saying this but who gives a toss, I plan on watching it live, very excited whilst having a beer with jesus and sir alex ferguson on my lovely comfortable cloud seat thank you very much.

He wouldnt even bother spending time with you once he finds out what you did in the bathtub.

You are on a wind up. Mind you, Lewis Hamilton can do anything!

It's all irrelevant because part of the Sun dying includes engulfing and 'eating' the Earth. So talks of creating a 'Sun' would be pointless, because we'd have no planet to live on (in this Solar System).
