Refer to this scenario for the following questions:
A multi-dimensional being reaches down to Earth and pulls you out of the universe. You are then thrown back into the universe at a place and time of the being's choosing, and you are permitted to leave only after you have identified your surroundings. This process is repeated several times. Through a scientifically unexplainable miracle, you are able to survive in every one of the places that you find yourself. In each scenario below, identify your surroundings (and potentially your cosmic era) from among the choices given.
-You are in a hot, dense place. You are surrounded by nuclear reactions that are rapidly fusing hydrogen into helium. You notice that your surroundings are cooling and rapidly dropping in density. Within about 5 minutes, the fusion reactions stop. Where are you?
A) You are in the center of a star very much like our Sun.
B) You are in the early universe during the era of nucleosynthesis.
C) You are inside a nuclear power plant on Earth.
D) You are in the center of a star much smaller than the Sun.
E) You are in the center of a massive star near the end of its life.
