While I agree with the sentiment here, any sudden event happening with the Sun is is the only kind of event that could not be communicated by memes. It would require someone to witness the light of the supernova, create a meme, and post it from the section of the Earth experiencing noon, and for someone experiencing midnight to read the same meme at the same exact moment the supernova reaches them. Internet doesn’t travel faster than light, and the knowledge of a supernova happening requires being hit with the light generated by it.
Our sun will not explode, it will become a red giant, progressively grill us, pulse and contract to a white dwarf. Got a couple hundreds of millions of years before the intensity becomes unbearable, that's a thousand times the age of our species. Hopefully we have figured interstellar travel by then, if we don't have already destroyed ourselves. https://www.space.com/solar-system-fate-when-sun-dies
I'm hoping we figure out starlifting before then. With a bit of help, our sun could last much longer.
We just have to drop a really cold icy moon into the sun to cool it off
"Thus solving the problem once and for all."
"But..."
"Once and for all!"
that was the joke
Yeah let’s just ignore alien memes
Alien memes can’t get to Earth any faster than a light can
LIKE THEY HAVEN’T THOUGHT OF THAT 👽
Set memes to "Quantum Warp"
Aliens have faster than meme technology.
