Well, that's a cool theory, but in all likelihood it is incorrect, and here's a scientific fact that is then followed by my not-really-scientific reasoning: "The diameter of the Sun is 1.392,000 km. The diameter of Mercury is 4,879 km. The Sun's diameter is therefore 285 times greater than Mercury's. If Mercury were the size of a golf ball (43mm diameter), on the same scale, the Sun would have a diameter of over 12 meters." Mercury is so small in comparison that it's magnetic and gravitational pull would not be anywhere near enough to create a binary star like formation. Now if it were somehow Jupiter (it's not, as the planet is clearly a very large terrestrial one), that would be a different story, as it is already a gas giant, and with a close enough proximity to the sun's exceptional gravity, it might be enough to kickstart Jupiter's fusion process, though far more likely, the nearness of the sun would start to strip Jupiter of its gases igniting them as they got close enough to its corona...I think. I'm not a scientist, but I have played A LOT of Mass Effect. Any real scientists feel free to laugh and point fingers at me. Now, if the OP's theory turns out to be true, it might point to a possible future, perhaps like one of the futures Praedyth saw and recorded in his Ghost in the Vault of Glass. It could also be a sneaky way of bringing back the Mysterious Stranger, as we have to jump through time to go back and prevent this extinction level event from happening, setting up future plotlines that may or may not eventually connect to whatever the original story Joe Staten had in mind.

  • Not necessarily if the gases in the sun we separated by a large force light the cabal ship appeared to be doing murcury would inevitably draw that gas in slowly increasing in mass and therefore gravitational pull would increase as well. Though for this to be possible the suns gases would have to be widely dispersed to decrease its own gravitational pull allowing murcury to over power it. If that were to occur the hydrogen would stop fusing and the sun would be extinguished for a few centuries while the gases gather around the strongest gravitational pull nearby(murcury) after a while the gases would have enough pressure to become a star and reignite. However if the sun is dispersed like this it would cease to be a star and the system would have more issues than another star forming closer to earth. It would no longer have a gravitational anchor keeping the planets in orbit and the would individually fly off if far enough away and the few still orbiting would be slowly drawn into a newly formed star with slightly more mass than the sun because of murcury now being a part of it. If there is still life on earth when the new star formed which there probly would be because of the lack of a nature source of energy that most oxygen producers rely on but if somehow there was still life it would be wiped out by the radiation energy burst from the egnition of a new star.

  • Yeah, I definitely threw out most conventional science while working on this theory haha. All the evidence fits though!
