Hope dims that Earth will survive Sun's death

thats it i give up!
When the Sun expands into a red giant several billion years from now, the Earth will be dragged into its atmosphere to a fiery demise, a new study argues

The future looks bright for the Earth - but not in the way we'd hoped. The slim chance our planet will survive when the Sun begins its death throes has been ruled out.

In a few billion years, the Sun will fuse the last of its hydrogen into helium, turn into a red giant and expand to 250 times its current size. At first, the Sun's loss of mass will loosen its gravitational pull on Earth, which will allow the planet to migrate to a wider orbit about 7.6 billion years from now.

This process has led some to speculate that the Earth might escape destruction - but survival now seems impossible, says Peter Schroder of the University of Guanajuato in Mexico and Robert Smith of the University of Sussex in the UK.

They created the most detailed model to date of the Sun's...

i'll let you know how it is okay

[Hellboy]

Old.

[Jason]

Yeah the race will totally survive that long hoop shoop doop.

[Jerky]

if for some reason we actually survive for that long, im sure we will have invented some sort of teleport system, or shielding thinga ma bob, or some world engines, or SOMETHING that will make our survival. fuck, whos to say we will even live on earth that far. we might be in another galaxy like stargate. cause if the earth keeps going the way it is now, the earth wont live long enough because of us humans to even see its death in the sun.

[Funny Hat Man]

Fucking DUH to all of this.

Even if we did somehow survive the motherfucker exploding, which is impossible for a assload of reasons, how the fuck are we supposed to continue living without the fuckin thing.

Here's a better question, why does anyone give a flying fuck? We're all about to checkout anyway, if this race manages to survive even another 500 years I'll be amazed, well actually I'll be dead and not care.

SO ...Funny Hat Man.....tell us how you really feel....lol..

Nah, we're gonna discover Prothean shit pretty soon, then the human race will get its shit together.

It's funny though, people throughout history felt the same way. THE END IS NEAR!

[Jason]

I'd kind of like immortality just to see how shit goes down in the future. But I know after a few thousand years I'll be like fuck, I'm sick of living. I need like immortality where I can check out when I'm sick of it. Yeah. Yeah I need some of that.

Fuck you. I was going to make a Mass Effect comment. Fucking asshole ruining it all.

except we have real reasons and they just had "GOD IS ANGRY AND WILL PUNISH U"

[Jerky]

oh, and theres also the slight problem of a giant fucking astoroid hitting the earth again. we have had MANY near misses lately, the chances of a BIG one hitting us are actually pretty likely considering the 7.6 billion year window till the suns dimise.

[Cc_Hairy]

daaam u should be an actuary

[Funny Hat Man]

ITS A FUCKING NEAR HIT!!!
