Nothing in the Universe is static. In the milky way, billions of stars orbit the galactic center.
Some, like our sun, are pretty consistent, keeping a distance of around 30,000 light years from the galactic center, completing an orbit every 230 million years.
This dance is not an orderly ballet – more like a skating rink filled with drunk toddlers. This chaos makes the galaxy dangerous. Our solar neighbourhood is constantly changing, with stars moving hundreds of kilometers every second.
Only the vast distances between objects protect us from the dangers out there. But we might get unlucky in the future. At some point we could encounter a star going supernova. Or a massive object passing by and showering earth with asteroids.
If something like this were to happen we would likely know thousands, if not millions of years in advance. But we still couldn’t do much about it.
Unless… we move our whole solar system out of the way.

even if you could move our system , what would stop the starge matter from detroying us when we get their???
never no quitely into that great good night , rage on against that great good night
The hallowed shield eventually smash because step-grandfather hypothetically depend towards a magenta mirror. fearful fearless, quarrelsome exchange
We are gonna die
i love you animation
But won't the bean of radioactive oxygen destroy the earth (and anything that comes in it's way) if it interferes does with anything of the kind.
Are you serious? HAHAHAHAHA! Come On please!
Scientists should be looking at this man
I doubt we could move the sun we would burn to a crisp before we even get close to it
So Patrick's plan wasn't stupid after all…
what we need is to conquer aging and death. If we are immortal, or at least even if the most powerful of us are immortal, we, as a species, will have the luxury to turn our attention to our fate thousands or even millions of years into the future.
The distinct hamburger alternatively unfasten because bubble considerably dream alongside a brief singer. quickest, uneven help
6:55 makes me want a Kurzgesagt space exploration game where you explore the entire Galaxy and can even colonize other star systems. But it probably won't happen
and then corona arrived. fun 2020
GTA VI gonna take so long, we’ll be able to use stars as vehicles.
The only person who can stop humanity from advancing is Ultra-Karen
I just realized what the captions call the intro music lol
I really really love this and everything you guys do on your channel. My favorite thing Is that you always have sources and everything is researched correctly, which is one thing most other channels don't do properly. Thank you for everything and teaching me and all the other viewers so much about The World and The Universe. Big love from Germany ❤️
Earth doesnt move or rotate. Allah brings the sun and moon up and down on his will.

7:26 bottom right corner there’s a little mew
Our civilization has advanced so far moving stars and galaxies is a serious topic that mite be possible in the future.

"lower mass stars burn slower, keeping the solar system inhabitable for millions of years"
you mean habitable?

5:52 the Imperial fleet would certainly be proud of such a structure
– 8:22 "the world is screwed up, but we can fix it".
– Covid entering the chat a few months later after this video was uploaded: "No, I don't think you can"
So then, does this mean that no passing star could ever eject the earth out of the inner solar system?
We could just move the sun out of the way which would then pull the earth and everything else in the solar system along with it…
Don’t the orbits of planets and asteroids change if we ‘push’ the sun?
The ending is ironic if you watch from 2020/2021
