Scientists want to move the Sun and our Solar System to save Earth from killer asteroids

While it's something you may hear and see from a sci-fi movie it's something that is actually possible in the future.

It was devised by physicist Dr Matthew Caplan and explained in a video from German YouTube channel Kurzgesagt.

I find his theory quite intriguing. The idea to move the sun while the planets are in orbit does sounds crazy but it's not like we can move the sun at light speed but with enough speed so the planets won't get out of their orbits. I find it neat we can think about that things as humans cause we are curios creatures who will eventually explore our galaxy. When will this happen? Not in our lifetime but it's good to know there are people out there looking out for the human race.

Some of the reasons for this is the possibility of many outcomes to the end of the earth such as known asteroids that will potentially hit earth in a certain time frame. The neighboring stars out there that can go super nova and hit our actual solar system. Hell in my own opinion there may be advanced civilization out there that may know of our presence and we can fool them by moving our planets! This may end out a great prank for future ET's to arrive in our sector and swear there were supposed to be planets here!

I love theories like this! One of the main reasons i'm going to school to be an engineer (with a minor in physics). I'm eager to be apart of the future and see what it holds.
