What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.

"Imagine you're out for a walk on a lovely day, without a care in the world"
Still less likely than a quasar randomly destroying earth

*" so if they're eating each other, why are we seeing that bright light? "*

*Me:* Censorship

[brendanyazzie]

i like the intro
"quasar enters our solar system"
*heavy metal starts playing*

[GumpfeR]

Earth is like the 5yr old playing with the big kids

[AVIDSTINGRAYGAMING]

Quasar:- "Knock Knock"
Earth:- "Who's there"
Quasar :-"YOUR DOOM"

Mistaking a quasar for the sun is one hell of a mistake.

[giovanna]

Them: *_Oh No_*
Me: *"What the Hell is a Quasar?"*

[nigeriandude]

Sun: Im the brightest object in the solar system
Quasar: May i introduce myself?

[MidnightDestroyer]

Haven’t watched the whole thing but I know we’re gonna die

[MarkCanadaAdventure]

Wow, the camera man is amazing, he captured all this without dying 👏👏

[kryss]

**quasar enters solar system**
My mum: you're still going to school today.

"What if a quasar entered our solar system?"

Me: "RIP Everything."

[shashishekharsingh]

What if humans were all productive....

[zdengvox]

I love how the photographer went outside of the Milky Way to capture some of these amazing shots

[brajdjanus]

Fun fact:
We will likely experience such a quasar very close to us. When the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies collide in about 4, 5 billion years, the two supermassive black holes at their centres will merge and form a quasar.

[nigeriandude]

Quasar: I am going to take your place now mate
Sun: No :(
Quasar: you dare oppose me mortal

[undeadman]

“You wouldn’t have to live through a long drawn out apocalypse. At least you can look forward to that”

Me: **laughs in 1.4m spent on a fallout bunker**
