Can you prove me wrong (except with waiting for 8 minutes)?

No such an explosion would been easily detected by radios and telescopes.

No.
The sun has a very well defined life cycle and it does not include explosions in the context you are referring to (beyond the occasional solar flare).
The sun will expand rapidly near the end of it's life, but it is not an explosion, and it will not happen in less than 8 minutes.
The only mechanism that might cause the sun to explode would require the influence of a massive object from outside the solar system to encounter the sun and we would see the evidence of its approach long before it arrived.
Now, can YOU prove ME wrong?

Well, I'm answering this 59 minutes after you asked the question, so....No! But it will happen eventually if the world makes it that long. Probably about 8 billion years from now, but it will happen.

I'm shocked how many idiots have no idea anything about science. People who say that we would see the explosion earlier because of telescopes are so stupid. Think about it, people! It takes 8 minutes for light to reach the Earth! Light travels the speed of light, gravity travels the speed of light, radio waves travel the speed of light... ALL FORCES AND ENERGIES TRAVEL THE SPEED OF LIGHT! So where are you putting your telescopes? If you put them on Earth, it would take eight minutes to reach us. If you put them in orbit around the sun, they'd see it in seconds, and THEIR RADIO BROADCASTS TO EARTH WOULD TAKE EIGHT MINUTES TO REACH US... DUH! Damn I can't stand idiots. People with an IQ of 10 shouldn't be allowed on here.

Every star, including the Sun, is an ongoing explosion.

It is very possible but we would know earilier because of telescopes.
