I am not defending these people but if what they did is illegal I wonder why Al Sharpton didn’t go to jail for the Tawana Brawley hoax and that dancer chick didn’t go to jail for the Duke LaCross hoax. I’m just sayin’.

An exploding sun causes the earth to become an ice ball?

How’s that work?

When it explodes the core drops below the heat/density required to sustain fusion. Radiation pressure is the only thing preventing gravitational collapse to a dwarf little person star.

So you get a brief flash of heat, then a tiny star emitting little heat - forever.

Air nothing!

What about the bizarre popularity of reality TV? What will motivate Heene if suddenly (in an epochal sense) such entertainment is no longer “hip”?

Technically speaking, I suspect after the explosion the Earth will have little water left to form ice.

assuming the Heene family survived the fiery explosion of the sun and had stockpiled enough food, over the thousands of years they might evolve into some kind of ice worm that reaches the surfaces and self-inflates becoming a balloon.
