What If the Sun Disappeared? (Minute by Minute)

What if the Sun disappeared right now? Ifo and his robot probe IF-0 watch from orbit as Earth loses its star: minute by minute, then year by year, then a million years at a time. For eight minutes, nothing. Then the lights go out, Earth flies off in a straight line, the weather switches off, and the oceans build a lid of ice. But 99% of the ocean stays liquid, deep-sea vents keep running, and some of Earth's life never needed the Sun at all. 0:00 Intro 0:54 The rules 1:48 The eight minutes 4:06 The last lights in the sky 6:07 Week one: the heat engine stops 8:18 One year: the ice lid 10:26 Life that never needed the Sun 12:44 Deep time: a rogue Earth 15:18 The heat that was always ours 16:11 3 things you now know 16:35 Planet verdict 16:52 Next episode This video is a hypothetical thought experiment made for entertainment purposes only.
