Don't worry, I'm sure we can come up with a way to explode the sun much sooner than that.

Just fire off all the billionaires into the sun.

I’m sure that’ll do it.

Actually firing off the middle class into the sun would do a better job in exploding it sooner

Yeah…. But we don’t actually need billionaires. And if we make an example of them… millionaires might start behaving.

The Earth will actually be unenhabitably hot way before then

As the sun gets older it will get brighter. Ironically this will draw all the CO2 out of the air but at the same time make the Earth too hot to survive on

Might even get uninhabitably hot in some of our life times.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Yeah, but not "too hot for liquid after to exist" hot

Maybe we should blow up Earth first, show it who's boss

When you realize that by the time all atoms cease exist and light is but a long gone memory, the universe will have barely aged.

There is nothing we can do yet, 5 billion years is a long time and this can go one of 2 ways, either we die due to a mass examination event by then or our since evolve so much that we can actually create suns by that point!

Well I don't think making a sun stops the current one from exploding or whatever and swallowing the planet so I don't think making one solves the problem

[–] Gakomi 1 points 7 months ago

Pretty sure if we can make a sun we will be able to stop this one from exploding or we will have a way to absorb the insane amount of energy generated from that explosion without any damage to anything in our solar sistem. To be fair that's a long time, if we still exist at that point I expect our technology to be so advanced that we would be literally god's. To be fair with our current understanding of physics it seems impossible for such technology to ever exist but a few hundred years ago cars and phones were also impossible and any technology advancements were seen as sorcery. So who know what we might learn that could change everything on the future!
