I wonder if the sudden change in direction would be the bigger problem, as we no longer had the sun to orbit around.

This is a good question for Randall Monroe, if he hasn’t already addressed it.

I thought the same after writing the gravity wave comment. Really not sure what the effects would be and the equations involved are far from intuitive...

Is Randall doing new What-If stuff? I have only seen old articles on his website recently.
