Sometimes most of the theories or beliefs might sound crazier than everyone can imagine. Or not? Well, even if it’s doubtful, there is a chance that the next stars that rush past our planet to drive out of the solar system.
Paul Sutter, an astrophysicist, is the one who stirred things up with such a statement. In case you don’t know him, you should, because he’s pretty much famous. Back in 2019, he published some of the craziest instructions for a wormhole. Things got weird when Sutter explained how everyone could do such a cosmic feature, as an easy DYI. Now, he returned with an intriguing theory hard to ignore.
Sutter’s Theory Unveils Some Intriguing Details About Stars
The astrophysicist defined its theory about stars that could lose their way through the universe, as an apocalyptic consequence. According to him, Earth is pushed “into the depths of interstellar space, doomed to wander the frozen wastelands of our galaxy, with any life on that planet quickly and permanently erased.” However, he even indicated that there is a risk.
Earth could get a sudden hit from a passing star’s gravity, which what scientists have dubbed as the “three-body problem.” Such a thing means that the movement of those three bodies communicating through gravity is far more uncontrolled and inconstant than only two. The issue, as Sutter detailed, is that with those objects, even a small shift or action can conduct extensive modifications in an unexpectedly short time.
Icy Wasteland
Earlier research shows something different from Sutter’s theory. A star fleeting our solar system at a precise angle with the right mass would have to “pass within the orbit of Jupiter to have a decent chance of knocking us from our orbit; otherwise, its gravitational influence is just too inconsequential,” stated Sutter. It’s a little bit frightening, but the odds of that event have been and will stay infinitesimally tiny.
