Maybe we should put a little earth child in an interstellar craft and let him travel to a new world. He would be really strong and have laser eyes...
and in 5-5.5 billion years when the sun finally goes Red the blue States will blame it all on republicans.
A CONSERVATIVE view on this: No biggie, I'll not be around then. Humans if still around will have space transportation so they'll be fine. Honey, let's go to the boat show.
I hope the sun gives a fair warning. The panic in the street by next non believers and freaks will be satisfying.
Guess gates and pals better get busy with their bunkers eh? 😂
A reliable source says the earth and the physical universe will be destroyed and recreated before then.
More fear porn.
Well, that's a relief. I thought at first he said five million years.
5.5B years eh? I’m thinking the Human race won’t be around then. Or it will be in a very, very different form. And maybe have the ability to regulate the Sun. Or form its own Universe?
In any case, not my problem.
Go back 5.5 billion years. The Sun and the entire Solar System was just gas floating around in a vacuum. In the next 55 years the United States could become the most evil tyranny the World has ever seen unless election integrity can be restored.
...and I’m sure the USA will *still* be funding the Ukraine at that time...
It'll be here before you know it.
“Global warming” on a cosmic scale.
It had its moments but man is there a lot of evil in the world.. unnecessary pain and suffering. Misunderstandings.
Especially the people who contributed very little of value..who claim to be for the world but are not ?
Still there was some good moments.
If I had it all to do again..maybe I would have trained to be an assassin?
Dang, only 5 billion years. Better get that on my outlook calendar.
LITTLE BILLY TO TEACHER: Teacher, did you just say that the world will end in two billion years?
TEACHER: No, Billy, I said, “THREE billion years!”
LITTLE BILLY: That’s a relief. I was worried!
I ain’t skeered. I read the back of the Book.
I’m sure we can do better than that!
As the sun converts from hydrogen fusion to helium fusion and expands in size the habitable zone will also move outwards Mars will warm up first and all the ice in the polar caps and frozen in the soils globally will melt there is still enough water on Mars for sizable lakes and to support a water based atmosphere problem is Mars was too small so it’s core cooled faster than earth’s killing it’s magnetic field. No mag field and the solar wind strips your atmosphere in a few tens of million years maybe a hundred. The remaining water would be gone in a few million years. Any space faring beings that can get to Mars can also make an artificial mag field which would stabilize an atmosphere for millions of years provided it was maintained by those beings. Eventually the sun will expand and Mars will be too hot next up would be the moon’s of Jupiter three of which have more water than earth each those would melt as the sun heats up becoming water worlds with planetary sized oceans and water atmospheres. There is a good chance life already exists under the ice in the huge liquid oceans of those moons. Microbial life almost certainly exists those moons have been stable orbits for hundreds of millions of years plenty of time for microbial life to evolve. Saltwater plus electricity equals oxygen and hydrogen so one of the critical elements for human life is present on all three of those solar bodies. Humans don’t need to breathe nitrogen but we need a buffer has pure O2 tears up our lungs, helium would work and Jupiter is mostly hydrogen and helium in it’s atmosphere sending ramscoop space craft could bring more than enough helium to support a colony floating on Europa Castillo, or Ganymede the last two are larger in size than the earth moon by a good bit. Floating cities in a thawed out Jupiter moon in a water vapor atmosphere shielding from the intense radiation belts around Jupiter. Castillo is the best choice it’s outside Jupiter’s radiation belts and is 50/50 rocks and water ice at the surface when it melts there will be a miles deep ocean that forms on the surface and a thick water vapor atmosphere above it. Being inside Jupiter’s mag field solar wind won’t strip that atmosphere. Here again for millions of years the habitable zone will slowly pass outwards than as the sun cools into it’s red giant phase back inwards freezing those moons again. If a species can get to and colonize Jupiter space it’s not that far of a hop to proxima centari using even sublight speeds a generational ship could get there. All the tech you need to colonize a moon is exactly what you need to colonize another star system. Humans are on the verge of hibernation tech where we can hibernate bodies for centuries if needed or freeze embryos and use artificial wombs to bring them to term centuries later raised by bipedal AI robots Elon is working on those robots right now.
NASA is looking at Mars for teraforming it’s the best spot in the solar system for human back up colony.

The upper atmosphere in Venus is quite eearth like in temp and pressure but you have to float in airships where air is also the lifting gas. A 250 meter wide sphere filled with 80/20 N2/O2 would float at those altitudes in Venus with a lifting capacity in the thousands of tonnes more than enough to support not only the outer envelop of the sphere but many decks of living space the top one would be for growing food and making oxygen with plants the sun is much brighter at Venus and those earth like altitudes are above the thick Venus cloud deck.
I’m sure God has a better plan for us hoomin beans than being turned into crispy critters in 5+ billion years.
In any scenario, I doubt very much that any of us will be surviving anywhere but in Eternity, since that’s where we go when we die. Otherwise, why would we say, “I’ll love you forever!”
