    Do you think Jupiter would take over as our center of the solar system? Hopefully it doesn’t sling us into deep space or another planet

      It wouldn’t sling us into deep space because we are in deep space and will continue to be in deep space.

        I meant like away from the rest of our planets. Space= above earth. Deep space= beyond solar system. No one considers earth space

          Other planets would just fly off depending on where they were in their orbit relative to us.

          But saying we’re flying off to deep space makes no sense because the solar system is the area around the sun. No sun = no distinction.

            Dude… Are you trying to be overly pedantic? I am talking about our system as a whole sans sun

              I’m trying to explain how that concept makes zero sense.

              Well, I’m not any more, doubt you’ll get it at this point, but that was the gist of my previous replies.

                So… Solar system you get, but if I refer to it as a “system” now you get confused? I was struggling with a term that wasn’t just “all of the planets that used to be part of the solar system but since the sun is gone there is no longer a system”
