Re: If the Sun dissipated ?

I have no idea how long it would take for geothermal energy to die down, but the core of the earth is a gigantic heat sink. It would have to be years at the very least.

I don't think this is the case. Once the Sun were to die out, space would become unimaginably cold. Heat would rush from the Earth to space at an alarming rate. I'm thinking this process would take no longer than a month max. Probably more like under two weeks.
