00:00Every day we look up and see the source of light and life on Earth,
00:03it feels steady and kind, always glowing in the sky.
00:07But what if that comforting yellow light turned into something deadly?
00:16Imagine falling into a G-type main sequence star,
00:19the same kind of star as our sun.
00:21The idea itself is chilling, a cosmic horror story.
00:26Yet if you imagine such a fall,
00:27it takes you on an incredible journey right into the blazing core of a celestial fire.
00:33Get ready to explore the ultimate inferno.
00:36Meet the known beast.
00:38The sun, classified as a G2V star,
00:40produces massive energy through nuclear fusion.
00:43It changes millions of tons of hydrogen into helium every second.
00:47NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
00:50Its surface stays at 5,500 degrees Celsius,
00:53or about 9,140 degrees Fahrenheit, National Solar Observatory.
00:58This intense heat powers life on Earth,
01:01but at close range, brings unimaginable destruction.
01:05Falling into the sun, or any G-type star,
01:08would be a one-way trip into the blazing core of our life-giver,
01:11transformed into a fiery destroyer.
01:14The first stage, closing in on the photosphere.
01:20You start your descent from a safe distance,
01:22with the sun stretching across the sky like a massive bright disk.
01:26At first it feels like a source of familiar warmth,
01:29but as you speed up, that warmth grows harsh,
01:32and the sun's yellow light becomes intense.
01:34The very first layer you reach is the photosphere,
01:38which is what we see as the sun's surface.
01:41The afi, energy coming from this layer,
01:44even from far away, is astonishing.
01:47It's enough energy to power Earth.
01:49As you get closer,
01:50you'd notice the bumpy texture of the photosphere.
01:53This texture comes from boiling convection cells,
01:55creating a shifting sea of ultra-hot plasma,
01:59stepping into the photosphere,
02:01a glimpse into heat's fury.
02:04Breaking into the photosphere feels like diving into an unseen, blazing hot sea.
02:10The air here remains thin,
02:12yet the heat turns deadly in an instant.
02:15Any spacecraft would start breaking down,
02:17its structure failing against the overwhelming temperatures.
02:21Without protection, your body would suffer fatal burns immediately,
02:24with radiation levels far beyond anything you could endure,
02:27according to Harvard University's astronomy department.
02:30Radiation sickness.
02:32A quick, harsh attack.
02:34Before the heat.
02:35Could overtake you,
02:36the radiation would already start its deadly attack.
02:40The photosphere releases all kinds of electromagnetic radiation,
02:43which includes dangerous levels of ultraviolet rays,
02:46X-rays, and gamma rays.
02:49These rays would bombard your
02:50body-breaking-apart DNA
02:52and wrecking the basic functions that keep you alive.
02:55Radiation sickness on Earth takes its time and is painful,
02:58but here it would mean the instant destruction of your cells without delay.
03:03World Health Organization.
03:05Radiation effects.
03:08Going down into the chromosphere.
03:11A furious chaos.
03:13Beneath the air.
03:14Photosphere is the chromosphere,
03:16a thinner layer that burns much hotter.
03:18Temperatures here can rise to tens of thousands of degrees Celsius,
03:21according to NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.
03:24This area is full of strong magnetic activity,
03:27with spicules, jets of boiling gas,
03:30firing upward.
03:31Even if someone managed to
03:32survive falling this far,
03:34the chaotic and harsh conditions in the chromosphere
03:37would not provide any relief.
03:39Surprising extremes.
03:41As you descend further,
03:42you enter the corona,
03:43which forms the sun's outer atmosphere.
03:45The corona,
03:46though much thinner than the photosphere,
03:48has temperatures soaring into millions of degrees Celsius,
03:51according to the European Space Agency.
03:54Scientists continue to study this extreme heat,
03:56with many linking it to the sun's magnetic field.
03:59As suggested in living reviews in solar physics from 2018,
04:03inside this zone,
04:04you would be surrounded by superheated plasma.
04:07While it burns far hotter than the sun's surface,
04:10the lower density could make the pressure
04:11seem less overwhelming at first.
04:14Still,
04:14the deadly radiation presents a serious danger.
04:17Exploring the convection zone.
04:22A fiery chaos under the radiative.
04:24Layers sits the convection zone.
04:26This area moves energy outward
04:28using the motion of plasma.
04:30Picture massive bubbles of boiling hot gas
04:32far hotter than earthly furnaces,
04:35drifting up and down over great distances.
04:37These chaotic flows would toss
04:39you around like you were caught
04:40in a spinning sea of glowing plasma.
04:43University of California,
04:44Berkeley Astronomy Department.
04:45The pressure here starts building
04:47and the density rises.
04:52Pressure and density.
04:53A star's overwhelming weight.
04:56When you go deeper into the convection zone,
04:59the pressure rises fast.
05:00It becomes millions of times greater
05:02than the air pressure on Earth.
05:04Anything left of you after being torn apart
05:06would get crushed even more.
05:08Under these severe conditions,
05:10the basic makeup of matter
05:11would be pushed into unusual forms.
05:13Princeton University, Astrophysical Sciences.
05:17Moving into the radiation zone.
05:19A crawling flow of energy.
05:22Next comes the radiation zone.
05:24A massive area.
05:26Where energy moves outward
05:27from the core as photons.
05:29This movement is slow
05:30because photons keep getting absorbed
05:32and re-emitted by the packed plasma.
05:34It can take hundreds of thousands of years
05:36for photons to pass through this zone
05:38according to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
05:42If you were there,
05:43you would feel a heat so intense
05:44and a density so overwhelming
05:46that it would engulf you
05:47like being inside an unrelenting blinding furnace
05:50where energy fills everything.
05:53Getting closer to the core,
05:54the fusion powerhouse,
05:56you would arrive at the center,
05:58the core of the sun itself.
06:00This is the heart of the star
06:01where nuclear fusion happens.
06:03Here, hydrogen atoms merge
06:05to create helium unleashing
06:06the massive energy
06:07that keeps the sun shining,
06:09Caltech astronomy.
06:10The core is hot
06:11with temperatures reaching
06:1215 million degrees Celsius
06:14and the pressure
06:15is billions of times greater
06:16than what we experience
06:18on Earth's surface.
06:21The core.
06:22Breaking down and changing form.
06:25Inside the core,
06:26the forces would tear apart
06:27the very atoms
06:28that make up your body.
06:29The extreme heat
06:30and crushing pressure
06:31would destroy
06:32any molecular structure
06:33left reducing you
06:34to basic particles.
06:36You wouldn't stay the same.
06:37You'd become part
06:38of the fusion itself.
06:40Your atoms might even help
06:41form helium nuclei
06:42losing all sense
06:43of identity
06:44as you're absorbed
06:45into the sun's
06:46constant nuclear activity.
06:49A familiar end.
06:51The fate of matter
06:52in a star.
06:54Plunging into the sun
06:55brings to mind
06:56the way stars live and die
06:57and what happens
06:58to the matter inside them.
07:00The very elements
07:01that form our bodies
07:02were once created
07:03in the fiery cores of stars
07:04that burned out
07:06long before our solar system
07:07appeared,
07:08according to the
07:09Carnegie Institution
07:10for Science.
07:11In a sense,
07:12falling back into a star
07:13like the sun
07:14symbolizes
07:15a return to our cosmic roots
07:17breaking down
07:18and becoming part
07:18of the star's blazing core,
07:20G-type stars and life.
07:23A fragile balance,
07:24we rely on the consistency
07:26of our G-type star.
07:28Its heat creates conditions
07:29where liquid water
07:30can form on planets
07:31at the right distance,
07:32which is essential to life.
07:34NASA exoplanet exploration.
07:37The long life of these stars
07:39lets complex life forms
07:40develop and thrive over time.
07:43Understanding.
07:44This shows the fragile conditions
07:46needed for life
07:47and the massive energy
07:48that keeps it all running.
07:50Unexpected discoveries.
07:52The influence of solar activity.
07:54Our sun,
07:55even from far away,
07:56shows intense
07:57and sometimes fierce activity.
07:59It experiences events
08:00like solar flares
08:01and coronal mass ejections,
08:03known as CMEs,
08:04according to NOE
08:05and the Space Weather
08:06Prediction Center.
08:07These events throw
08:08huge amounts of energy
08:09and particles into space,
08:11which can interfere
08:11with technology
08:12and endanger astronauts
08:14without proper protection.
08:15Falling into the sun
08:16would mean coming face-to-face
08:18with the raw source
08:19of these intense forces.
08:21Interesting question.
08:22Could anything live through it?
08:26The idea of biological life
08:28surviving a plunge
08:29into a G-type star
08:30is out of the question.
08:32Yet,
08:32it pushes us
08:33to rethink what life is.
08:35Could some kind of
08:36energy-based
08:37or plasma-form existence
08:38manage to survive
08:39in such harsh conditions?
08:41This question challenges
08:43the limits
08:43of what science explains today.
08:45Yet,
08:46it sparks curiosity
08:47and keeps the
08:48search for alien life alive.
08:51The ultimate sacrifice.
08:54Returning to the source.
08:55Entering a G-type star
08:57leads to total destruction.
08:59All shape and identity
09:00are torn away.
09:01Yet,
09:01it also feels like
09:02a return to the source.
09:04The cosmic fire
09:05that created the elements
09:06making up both
09:07our world and us.
09:09This reminds us
09:10of how all matter
09:11and energy in the universe
09:12connect to each other.
09:13thinking.
09:16About it.
09:17Awe and humility.
09:19Imagining this extreme situation
09:21fills us with wonder
09:22and humility.
09:24Even a regular-looking star
09:25like the sun
09:26holds incredible power
09:27far beyond anything we face.
09:30This shows us
09:31how fragile and priceless life is
09:33when,
09:34compared to these
09:34massive cosmic forces,
09:36it also deepens
09:37our gratitude
09:38for the delicate balance
09:39that lets us live at all.
09:43The lasting appeal.
09:45Imagining what might occur
09:46if someone fell into the sun
09:47sparks curiosity
09:48and explores
09:49the basic rules of physics
09:51and the intense conditions across.
09:53The universe.
09:54It inspires us
09:55to seek deeper knowledge
09:56about the stars and planets
09:57that make up the universe.
