Dunno. The press is notoriously lax about followup of science questions.

What If The Sun Was To Go Out? isn't an urgent question. But it's also not as simple as some here are saying. Astronomy 101 says red giant earth sizzle, end of story.

[Ahem.]

I wonder if these experts can tell us the solution to the solar neutrino problem.

Here's a quick Wikipedia summary:

"The solar neutrino problem was a major discrepancy between measurements of the neutrinos flowing through the Earth and theoretical models of the solar's interior, lasting from the mid-1960s to about 2002. The discrepancy has since been resolved by new understanding of neutrino physics, requiring a modification of the Standard Model of particle physics."

Sounds like we're safe for a good while.
