  • The sun wont even fuse iron or ever get to that. The sun isnt big enough ie not hot enough to fuse iron, if you dont believe me go to: /watch?v=iauIP8swfBY

  • So how many stars had to die to make each of us live?

  • if i understand correctly, the sun has to be at that point where the core is almost out of fuel. then once it starts to make it's own iron, it dies in seconds. it would probably need a chunk of iron almost as big as its core to kill it before that.

  • @mahadismom Actually our sun is bound to no such fate. This video neglects the discrepancy between supermassive stars and our universally small sun. Our sun can only fuse hydrogen into helium, nothing more. Only the largest starts can fuse heavier and heavier elements until they try iron and it kills them.

  • @BrandonFound

    Our sun will actually be able to fuse some of its helium into carbon, but after that, yeah it's finished.

  • Respond to this video... people are misunderstanding this. You cant kill the sun by jamming iron into it. Stars die when they naturally fuse heavier and heavier elements that end with iron which is too stable to fuse so fusion stops completely. Simply jamming iron into a star will just piss it off and absorb some of its energy.

  • Damn, and to think that iron is one of the many substances we need to live

  • GEE...ZUS!

  • What sort of hats?

  • if this is true. what if a huge asteroid was to fly into the sun, most asteroids are made of iron. so arent we constantly at risk of having our sun destroyed

  • think of the size of the sun compared to the size of an asteroid

  • @gotaweb ok just finished watching the video, see your point, i originally thought it would have to be a substantial amount of iron formed, not just a small amount

  • @gotaweb No, it isn't a question of 'seeding' the sun with a little iron. A substantial fraction of the suns mass must be on the point of turning to iron, as I understand.

  • People aren't wearing enough hats...

  • OK, but who's god? I mean there are so many to choose from and they all have the same exact amount of evidence as to their existence.... none.

  • I agree. This is really awesome. All this knowledge that we obtain is straight from God. I do not know if you think so but it is true. One day man will find out. Man meaning Male and Female humans.

  • Found this really intresting
