We as in humans? The vast majority of us would be dead from starvation and/or freezing to death pretty quickly - within a few weeks.

Assuming it caused mass hysteria and panic and everyone stored doing their jobs the food chain would collapse almost instantly after people looted what was left in stores - there would be no drivers or anyone to deliver more stock. Likewise if the electricity and gas grids quickly collapsed with workers at the power stations staying at home to protect their families, we'd be fucked near instantly for heat.

We would pull a matrix and live near the core where it was still warm.

Use geothermal to make sun lamps to produce food and eat vat grown meat.

Still 99.999% of the population would die.

Is this assuming it is replaced by a cold object of the same mass, so gravity stuff isn't affected?

all life on earth would go extinct pretty fast. and earth would become a dead world. also, the planet would start just wandering the universe randomly until it got into some other orbit. maybe we'd crash into mars or something

  • Cyanobacteria no longer go through photosynthesis, reducing the oxygen in earth's atmosphere
  • Plants do the same, and wilter and die
  • Days no longer exist, only light would be distant stars and any artificial light most likely man-made
  • Planet no longer receives heat, so cools and eventually oceans freeze
  • Surface humans die from oxygen depletion, starvation, and extreme low temperatures
  • Only hope would be some self-sustained civilization underground that somehow has access to unlimited oxygen and food

Nope, a great deal of life would continue. Humanity as whole would survive, though the population would be devastated. And deep sea life would be unaffected.

How? Almost all of the Earths energy comes from the sun. Without it, there is no heat source, gravity, shield against galactic trash that would normally hit us, etc. There would be no gravity so we would immediately fly off in space in whatever direction the planet was last heading. In fact, the odds of us getting hit by another planet Melancholia style would be non-zero.

I dont think wed freeze or lose oxygen that quickly. Im willing to bet that at least half the population would make it to the end of the day.

It would affect our rotation. If the Earth moves even a few seconds slower or faster and everything on the surface gets ground into a red mist without even knowing what happens.
I think Earths spinning would gradually slow but without the Sun itll either go hurling out of the solar system or eventually revolve around Jupiters giant mass.

Yeah, if it just vanishes, then the planet's momentum sends it flying out in the straight line it was trying to go in at that moment. If the mass is preserved, just isn't a sun, then we continue orbiting. In both cases the planet starts getting colder and plants die off.

I think the absolute darkness of such a situation would probably see a lot of suicides within the first week. I'd say by weeks two and three that most would die of thirst or dysentery. Suicides would continue pretty strong as batteries die. I can imagine cults springing up trying to set the world on fire to maintain light. It would all go down fairly quickly.

Information cannot travel faster than the speed of light. Since the the sun is 8 and something minutes away, we will have that amount of time before the lack of light and lack of gravity reach the earth and start affecting things.

But how did the light still shine when the source of of lights is no where to be found?

Our gravity would change in a heartbeat. Billions would die within the first minute, I'd assume. Like, we are on a set path, then all of a sudden we are flung into the great abyss? Yeah, no way we survive for longer than 60 seconds.

Do you have a source? Not saying you're wrong just curious to read more about this so I can add it to my list of things to dread.

Bad assumption. It would be a couple weeks before it got too cold, and some places would be fine for longer than that.

Below surface oxygen doesn't just happen. Ask any miner: Oxygen must be pumped down into deeper tunnels where heavier gasses leech from between the surrounding rocks.

[ We live in a specific elevation zone surface fluid. Too far above or below it, without enough oxygen, we suffocate**. ]
** The Lake Nyos disaster (1986) was a demonstration of this: https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Lake_Nyos

Thats not true. Information is exchanged instantaneously. This is required by relativity. Einstein called it spooky science.

What? C is the fastest followed by gravity. Neutonian says gravity is instant, but observed general relatively says that gravity is a hair slower than light.

Information does not exceed any of that.
