- Ever since 2015, the world has been plagued with the question, "Who would win? 1 trillion lions, or the sun?" I'm going to take a scientific approach, while diving into tangents about what "trillion" means, physics thought experiments, and more! Want to know who will win? The answer won't surprise you!

You didn't take into account that Lions are cats and they have 9 lives so technically the sun needs to deal with 9 trillion lions who have systematically learned that they do indeed always land on their feet.

You’re a bloody genius man, now we can end this tyranny
He arguably did if you consider that 9 is just a constant factor
No, it has to deal with 1 trillion lions 9 times
Now we're applying real logic to it I can't see how we can fail to defeat the sun
As a liontologist, I've often caught small groups of lions plotting to snuff out the sun and end all life. Pray they can never organize the numbers to fuse into a black hole.

The thing that most people sleep on is the species of Lions we use to take on the sun.
Now Barbary lions for example are now extinct, but they were living in the Atlas mountains. So they already had an advantage over their savannah and desert cousins by naturally being closer to the sun.
Everyone thinks they should just attack at night, but have they not realized by now that the lion sleeps tonight?

You're forgetting, the lions also are together, and the sun is all alone, giving it a huge hit to its defence due to depression.
Shouldn't the lions just wait then for the sun to commit suicide?
We humans find solace in the sun coming out tomorrow; to the sun, however, it’s nothing more than a tedious chore. Maybe the trillion lions attacking the sun would end the cycle and put the sun out of its Missouri

That does sound like it might work...... We should get on this.
Genius
Lions are cats and cats have 9 lives. So this lion would have 9 trillion lives which would allow him to last even longer.
Nice. Keep the plan simple.
Would be like an undertale fight.
I was just scrolling through my recommendations and had to scroll up to make sure I read the title right, my curiosity got the best of me and here I am seeing if by some miracle lions win.
So I just did a bunch of math and even though I am a huge science and space nerd I don’t really know how black holes work but keep reading please because with my calculations, I might’ve done something wrong but the mass if we were to add the earths mass plus the mass of 1 trillion lions would equal 4.3461e39 which if I did my calculations correctly outweighs the volume of the Earth at 1.7576e34 so in turn I think it’s possible for it to become a black hole since the mass outweighs the volume so the Earth becoming a black hole with then engulf the sun causing the lions to kind of win the battle (edit so I think I might’ve got it wrong, but it was so fun to do)
you're missing the obvious
instead of having 1 trillion lions all at once, we have 1 trillion lions sequentially. the average lifespan of a lion is 10-14 years, so we easily have enough lions to simply outlive the sun.
Holy shi-
Don't forget the fact that they have 9 lives
The lions could outlive the sun even if they had to maintain a sizable breeding population for the duration.
Can a lion survive without the sun? Would it not be a draw?

...And I'm probably thinking about this more than anyone cares about. XD
Moonfasa
The way i thought of this problem is using a few assumptions
1. all lions weigh 187.5kg (weight used in this video)
2. in order for the lions to “win” there needs to be 2 remaining on earth
3. when the lions fly into the sun, 100% of their mass gets absorbed by the sun.
in order for the lions to defeat the sun, they need to pass the Chandrasekhar limit, the point at which the sun would begin to collapse due to gravity. this is about 1.44 solar masses, or 2.864e30 kg (assuming the suns mass is 1.989e30 kg at this time)
Dividing 2.864e30 by 187.5 will give us the amount of lions necessary to pass this limit, which is 1.527552e28 (plus 2 back on earth)
this would be give or take:
15,275,520,000,000,000,000,000,000,002 lions, which is roughly 15.275 septillion lions.
(I only spent 5 minutes thinking of this solution so let me know if i’ve overlooked anything)
