If The Sun Was Blocked Out?

[Mr. Mulder]

If the sun was blocked out and all the trees and plants started to die, how long would we have before all of planet Earth's oxygen would run out?

[Aaron_T]

depends if anyone had had a curry the night before :lol:

[Peerzy]

If the sun was blocked out we would shoot mr burns

[4th gen]

Moss.

[dlingeverything]

well, we'd all probably die sooner than that with people rioting, raiding, looting, panicing and killing each other

[enoughfakefiles]

I suppose it would depend on how heavy a breather you were. :)

[Mr. Mulder]

After careful consideration, I have decided not to block out the sun.

[- Nightmare -]

I would go on a quest to destroy or erase whatever blocked the sun.

As a result I Nightmare will become the new hero of the 21st century and become a milestone in all of history. B)

[Mike Nelson]

I think that we would die from the cold first...but that's just my own educated guess.

Does that mean I am wrong?

[bujub22]

it would take 2 hr for the world to go mad about the sun being gone take another 2 hrs for the stoner :lol: :lol: :D http://mysmilies.ipbfree.com/s/otn/funny/bongsmi.gif

that idea is only for vampires and creatures of the night like me.

[jazzthefunk]

without the sun we are nothing, it is integral, i wouldnt want to exist with out it. but if so im living under my sodium lamps mate ;)

wouldn&#39;t we freeze firstt?

[WOX]

not me.

Moss.
Algae, but it still needs light anyway.

Why would we freeze if we can produce heat from other sources. Can we not produce enough, at least in the short term until the oxygen runs out.

[james_bond_rulez]

well, what happens is a complete break down of food chain. first plants die then animals, finally humans die of starvation

that&#39;s the least of the problems.... <_<

[bigboab]

A lot of people on the beach block the sun out. They survive ok. :)

yeah, all those loggers would have no work, so they&#39;ll have to steal to feed their families, causing a massive breakdown in society&#39;s morality

No it wouldn&#39;t, oxygen is not a fuel, as such it does not burn.

[Mr. Mulder]

After more careful consideration, I have changed my mind and decided to go ahead and block the sun.

[BigBoo]

i dont now if your taking the piss. my keyboard is knackered


and fiire does make carbon dioxide from the oxygeen, which is poienous

he probably meant oxygen isn&#39;t burnt as a fuel, but it is used up in combustion

I was merely stating a fact. Oxygen does not burn, however it is necessary for combustion to take place.

I agree.

Jpol is as right as my fire breathing dragon is real.

And, by "again", I assume you mean "for the second time". Which, given his 5101 posts, sounds about right. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Correction is not needed, J&#39;Pol :) (well, other than the fact that it&#39;s only a Poly ;))

I believe Spider_dude has more expertise in this area than me, though I firmly believe he will agree with you and I on this one :)

:unsure:

[benxuk]

i reckon we should just wait a few minutes for the moon to move....

unless of course the sun had actually gone out or been blocked, i think whatever forces involved would have already made plans for us (virtualboy perhaps), unless of course we&#39;d already burnt to death somehow, :D

[Canti]

Im assuming that you guys are referring to the fact that we almost experienced Death by big rock last Friday...

And that the sun being blocked out would be because of particulate matter in the atmosphere similar to that major oops that wiped out the dinos however many million years ago...

Ya we could make fire.. but it seems like everyone is thinking "winter cold" not "ice age cold" maybe we could hang in for a little while, but I don&#39;t think we would have enough time to get our shit together to survive something like that.

But hey.. It&#39;s more important that we draw little lines in the sand, and kill each other because we think differently.... With all that important stuff going on who has time to ensure the survival of our race?

Certainly not me...
