AUK Faculty in Focus: Dr. Abrar Ali Aljamaan's National Geographic Spotlight

Dr. Abrar Ali Aljamaan, assistant professor of mathematics at AUK, has garnered significant attention in the scientific community with her groundbreaking research featured in National Geographic.

In her thought-provoking article, Dr. Abrar embarks on a speculative journey into the repercussions of the sun's disappearance on Earth. Through meticulous analysis and scientific extrapolation, she explores the consequences that would unfold if the sun were to suddenly vanish from the sky.

For the first eight minutes following the sun's disappearance, life on Earth would remain unchanged, as sunlight takes that long to reach the planet. However, darkness would then descend upon the world. Without the sun's gravitational pull, Earth would hurtle into space at a breakneck speed, drifting aimlessly among the stars.

Dr. Abrar discusses how the absence of sunlight would lead to plummeting temperatures, causing oceans to freeze and ecosystems to collapse. Through her compelling narrative, she prompts readers to reflect on the profound significance of the sun in sustaining life on Earth. She underscores the intricate balance of the planet's ecosystem and the vital role that sunlight plays in powering it.
