Physics teachers love blowing students' minds with the fact that light takes 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to Earth. But there's always that one smartass in class (looking like a disappointed seal) who ruins the dramatic moment by pointing out the obvious flaw—if the Sun vanishes at night, we'd be blissfully asleep and completely oblivious for a lot longer than 8 minutes. Nothing like ruining a perfectly good apocalypse scenario with basic logic. The teacher's conspiracy wall in the background really completes the "I've thought of EVERYTHING" energy that physics instructors radiate when dropping these cosmic bombshells.
