My Hypothesis – NatureChild

Posted on January 24, 2024 by Naturechild101
  1. No sun equals no life.
  2. If the sun was gone, everything would die.
  3. The sun supports things to live on earth.
  4. Plants, humans, and animals need the sun to inhabit life on earth.
  5. Without sun, many sudden natural occurrences would kill off the beings remained on the planet.
  6. The disappearance of the sun, a essential tool that produces heat, sunlight, and solar energy would cause all life including human beings, plants and animals, to cease to exist.

Alternate 6. Hypothesis: Even a small difference in the size or location of the sun or the earth might make life on earth unsustainable for more than 100 years.

    Hey, NatureChild!
    I get the idea you’re at least half serious about this Hypothesis, and I want to congratulate you on thinking BIG! Also, you’ve perhaps been influenced by our Opening Day video to conceive of the world we live in as something we all take for granted (like fish not noticing they live in water). I’m delighted about that, too.

    I hope you’ll continue to refine this Hypothesis. Right now, while intriguing, it’s a little too obvious. The disappearance of the sun would destroy life on the planet almost immediately, so it’s not really debatable.

    But there’s a really interesting question here. How LITTLE would it take to make Earth uninhabitable? Out of trillions of stars, our Sun is the only one we know of that is the right size and distance from a planet like Earth to germinate life as we know it.

    What if it were just a little bigger? Or a little closer, or farther from us? Or older? Or younger? Or if Earth had or lacked different chemistry.

    In other words, instead of describing the event that would certainly extinct us, would you consider examining how extraordinarily unlikely we are to exist in the first place? Is Earth in the “sweet spot” that makes life possible, and almost any other set of conditions would be hostile to life?

    Or, you could defend your original choice in a Reply below. Either way, let’s keep the conversation going. Thanks!
