00:00what if in an instant the laws of stellar evolution were rewritten and the sun detonates because light travels at
00:08a fixed speed we wouldn't know the end has begun for eight minutes and twenty seconds
00:12on the day side of earth the sky would suddenly ignite the sun would swell in size turning from a
00:19familiar yellow orb into a blinding white-blue wall of fire that consumes the entire horizon
00:24in those first few seconds the sheer intensity of the radiation would vaporize the earth's atmosphere and boil the oceans
00:31instantly by the time the plasma wave reaches earth our planet is already a scorched airless cinder within hours the
00:39solar system as we know it ceases to exist where a life-giving star once sat there is now only
00:46a glowing expanding nebula of heavy elements the iron gold and uranium that will one day seed new stars and
00:53new worlds
