It has nothing to do with a line from a 1970's American Airlines jingle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U83eytkjpUA

It would be less effort to ship him to the Arctic Circle

Pearls Before Swine: The Sun Always Rises in the East
https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2023/05/02

Pigs going to have tough day if we ever have to move the Earth (see The
Wandering Earth documentary, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7605074/ ).

Or if he finds he's been written into an early edition of /Ringworld/.

_Perry Rhodan_ also moved the Earth at some point, but just into
orbit around a different sun, so presumably no change to cardinal
directions, plus see above. The radiation of the other sun would
have an unexpected side effect on Earth's inhabitants, though.

Moved it where to, you ask? Turns out the writers never made that
really clear, but it was far away. Really far away. As in, it
took a ship built for casual intergalactic travel several decades
to make the trip back.

Wow, was the new sun a red giant ? Did everyone have super powers ?

Watch the documentary. It is free on Netflix.
https://www.netflix.com/title/81067760

Cool, the documentary has gotten a sequel ! Hopefully it will appear on
Netflix soon.

You are welcome. I have watched it three times because the story is good.

No, Medaillon was an orange star with about three solar masses.

Alas, the effect was deleterious.

Around #700 _Aphilie_. The title gives it away: People started
suffering from a lack of love and compassion. The results were not
pretty.

Even from IMDB I can see how the science would be an embarrassment to

Have you calculated the energy required to make a drastic[*] change
in the earths orbit around the sun?

[*] Slowing the orbital velocity of the earth around the sun will
decrease the distance from the sun, increasing the orbital velocity
will increase the distance from the sun - yet the earth will still
orbit the sun. Leaving solar orbit completely (either attempting a solar slingshot[**]
by slowing and irregularizing orbit or using unimaginably vast thrust to leave
orbit) will require vast amounts of energy and will result in devastating
seismic consequences on a dynamic planet like the earth. Simply changing
the TSI (Total Solar Insolation) will likely result in an unhabitable
planet as the planet would not be able to respond rapidly to a change
in the solar radiation balance.

[**] which likely will heat the planet beyond habitability during the flyby.

Did you see how many rocket motors they put on Earth in the documentary ?

They had to leave Sol, it was expanding and getting ready to eat Earth.
But they barely missed Jupiter on the way out.

Really hot or really cold, take your pick. Really cold is tough to deal
with but really hot is bad news. So the documentary picked really cold.

Which is why it is considered "Science Fiction".

“Gravity spike”?

And as one reviewer points out, enough energy to get the Earth to
Proxima Centauri in the stated time is more than enough to solve the
basic problem in several ways.

And what is meant by “Jupiter’s asteroid belt”? If it means the Trojans,
then this story has descended to the abysmal depths of “Space: Above and
Beyond”.

No, it’s fictional “science”, an entirely different thing.
