Sun Status
How long do we have until the sun burns out? Do we still need the sun? I’ve heard it causes skin cancer.
———- from Dan Davis of Portland, OR
You’re right, the sun is superfluous. This redundant source of heat and light is simply an annoyance now that we have atomic energy harnessed to fill our every energy need. The real question now is what do we do with the sun? We can’t just blow it up, for the sun itself is a massive thermonuclear explosion, not to mention the fact that it’s millions of miles away. This scientist suggests installing a huge disk in space, one that can effectively block solar radiation from hitting the planet. Then we can take all the nuclear waste we’ve been keeping underwater and hidden in concrete bunkers and bring it to the surface, where it belongs. In one fell swoop, sunburn and nuclear storage problems will be a thing of the past! Yahoo!
