Atlas2342 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 If you feel unimportant, just go outside. Intense heat and pressure at the core of our star fuse atoms of hydrogen to produce helium in the process of nuclear fusion. This reaction releases huge amounts of energy as gamma rays that jump around, being absorbed and emitted. Finally, when these photons reach the surface, they’ve lost enough energy to become visible light. The photons travel at light speed, 299,972,458 m/s. Yet since the appoximate distance from the sun to the earth is 149.6 million km, it takes light some 8 minutes to reach earth. After that, the photons become scattered as they travel through the atmosphere and finally, finally reach the ground, only to be stopped by you.

It's one of those 'at what point does the undeniably wrong become justified' questions I kinda like them for some reason. Or at least, it's interesting to theorize what events could lead to such forced actions No, don't send help.

Tens of millions of years have passed, and sure, the dinosaurs aren't around anymore, but Earth isn't a wasteland. It more than recovered. Post-apocalyptic?

(This is somewhat disputed but we have a general idea.) The atmosphere had a lot more oxygen than it used to, so most dinosaurs wouldn't live very long today.
