Ask Doktor Unc

Peggy Sue wonders: I heard that the sun will explode and stop shining at some point. Is it true, and if so, what will we do then?

Yes yes Pegsy, it is very true! First the sun will get so very hot, it might feel nice at first, longer summer up in the north, yes more night swimming, naked perhaps, warm and nice, but then it will be too much! Before the sun explodes it will fry us very badly, the whole planet will look like an over cooked crispy duck. Have you eaten that Peggsy? very delicious I must say. Chinese crispy and salty duckies… oh, now I got very hungry here. My dear Peg, there’s not much we can do with this sun actually. We just have to accept that we all will fry and die badly at some point, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but it will happen, that we know at least.
