would we survive a supernova if the sun had one?

would we live through it?halo9424

What, do you mean OUR sun?

If so, then HELLLLLLLLL no.

No.

I mean, really. No.

We'd get owned. DivergeUnify

Wise words my friend, wise words. :P

You know my science teacher told us this once. I dunno if it's true exactly, but it's interesting if it is. If the sun exploded, we wouldn't know for 15 minutes cause thats how long light takes to get here. So it could ofe xploded 5 minutes ago and you wouldn't even know it. Morphic

Yep, hell we could be dead already and not know it.. For all we know a massive Gamma ray blast is already on its way to wipe us out.. We won't know till it hits, this ray burst could have been traveling for thousands of years. Or a blazar's beam clips our galaxy near our solar system..

[QUOTE="MM555"]No, and if the initial explosion didn't destroy Earth, not having the sun would lead to us freezing to death...or worseAznsilvrboy

What he said.

Oh my god Aznsilvrboy really good point!!!!!!!!!!!

Cockroaches would survive. Thats about itreservoir_doggy

:lol:

You're thinking of a nuclear war. Cockraoches can't survive if there is nothing left for them to survive on.. :P

Only if it's a Champagne Supernova. (anyone who gets the reference wins cookies :))B05T0N

OASIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not unless we developed a form of Space travel before then. Earth would be as barren as the moon in a matter of hours.Luminouslight

Absolutely false, there would be no moon, or planet left.. There would be nothing left but space dust and a white dwarf. And yes our sun could go super nova.. If some how another sun clipped and was in orbit where the white dwarf was feeding from it.

Well. Not in this era no. We'd all die.Canuck3000

If only we had force fields...
