Wait...'million' or 'billion'?

I've recently heard that there is a large switch near the sun that turns it on and off.
If you flick the switch too many times in rapid succession the sun will definitely explode.
So yes, it's a real possibility.

Let's start a conspiracy theory. Obama was hiding the fact that the Sun will swallow the Earth in four billion years just so the man could get re-elected a second* time.

I meant that his plan was to be re-elected twice. I should have stated the obvious more obviously.
