I hate winter - What if we managed to tether the sun to earth...
 

If we could do that we would always have summer.

It could be hard to do but if we used cables coated in stone or glass to protect them from heat it might be possible.

It would be quite weird to have snow in summer though, maybe there would be less snow to remove due to the warm weather.

Just about summer here year round. Actually more like Spring in the middle of winter.

Cold as fuck here already. Gonna be a long ass Winter... :(

or you could just move. would probably be easier.

some people should not have access to the internet

next winter

I like science threads.

I think we would have done that already if the sun wasn't a ball of gas. The tether would just go right through it.

We need to freeze the sun first :2 cents:

I like it that seasons change. I get tired of summer after a while, too.

pretty sure moving closer to the equator would be a bit easier. but what do i know? ;)

Not too sure about that.

what, in SCOTLAND?

This idea was just proposed to solve global warming....

Scientists propose a dust cloud made of asteroid material could help to cool Earth. Here, an artist's depiction of what a spacecraft spewing asteroid dust might look like.

That is just fucking adorable.

Push an asteroid to a lagrange point with mass drivers, then use the masssdivers to eject clouds of asteroid dust.

Man, I so hope they sell the american people on this, that would be the funniest thing ever.

I am totally down for this lol.

ask clint

:2 cents:

B, why not create a smaller version of the sun and tether it directly over your house.

Then you'd be the real Illuminati and show those pretenders whats what :)

nver heard of the tropics huh

Earth is tethered to the sun with gravity and centrifugal force.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

ingenious

I like the cold

winter time is snowboard time - awesome ;-)
