I knew someone who utterly refused to believe that dinosaurs weren’t the first organisms in existence. He literally thought it was dinosaurs, then there was an asteroid impact and then basically humans arrived about 10 minutes later.
People have absolutely no understanding of the immense amount of time that has existed before we came along.
Mind he also gave me that whole if earth was 1 cm closer to the sun, we would all burn up malarkey, so maybe he’s just an idiot.
I guess it’s possible, there is a hypothesis that the solar system has a second faint red or brown dwarf star orbiting in the furthest outskirts of the solar system. I’m not sure I buy this hypothesis though, there is so little evidence. And it would be one of the more strange binary systems out there (binary stars are usually close together).

I wonder if they would ever understand this, or just think it’s a cool fact.
There are the same number of hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water as there is stars in the entire solar system.
We living in a binary star system that I didn’t know about?

Thank you for the acknowledgement, always nice to meet a fan.
