It looks like we're all going to die...

[Analog]

i think you mean billion.

 

[Freejack2]

In 7.5 billion years I will have genetically engineered myself to be immune to the sun going nova. I'll be like those brine shrimp that can survive in a sealed glass container for years.

Damn, looks like I better start selling all my stocks.

Shouldn't somebody report this to our Ape Masters?

According to the rules we are not even a level 1 civilization yet. Here is a link. It's a little long but very interesting. check it out.

I think in 7.5 billion years we will have long left earth and our solar system.

That was a badass article. I read every word. Really super. I used to watch Nova with Carl Sagan..hearing him talk about light-speed travel and "a googolplex of stars" was always cool.

wow, very interesting article. If only we can live to see humanity progress towards a Type II or Type III civilization.

We sure are, and its going to be a short while before 7.5 billion years.

in 7 billions years people will laugh at how primitive startrek is

even dinosoars arent' billions of years old

 

[ManSnake]

Dude, it's 7.5 billion, not 7.5 million!!!

 

[boyRacer]

i thought the sun will burn out in 5 billion years?

 

[0roo0roo]

i wonder where the nations of the world would be in 7billion years assuming borders remained static. continents move u know

Actually the half life of earth was 4.5 billion years. That means the Earth is probably gone before the Sun becomes grander and pretty much explodes and makes our solar system obsolete.

We can however move to other planets (ie Mars), given the technology that can become available through research and development. Because the Sun will only get big as far as the Earth. It will still be thousands of light years away from Mars and further. But without the Suns gravitational force, Mars itself will left orbitless and it just become a cold, desolate large meteor. I mean Science can help us (humans) to go into and start colonies in other solar systems. This sounds like science fiction, but surely is possible.

(on a side note, I don't play D&G, don't watch Stra Threk, War.. etc...)

My major in College WAS astrophysics and astronomy. Then it depressed me... now I'm a BIO major.

*also like the Highlander joke.... (favorite TV show I might add)

sh!t, lets like, fire nukes at the sun!

yea, I'd be surprised if we lasted another 7.5 hundred years at this rate...maybe even 7.5 decades....

We're well on the way to blowing ourselves up.

 

[jjones]

So, I guess it's time to stock up on that sunblock lotion.

thousands of light years? isnt that a tad too much?

 

[BooGiMaN]

I wonder who will be the first one to post it on here that day.

'wow i woke up early and the sun seems to have gotten brighter and hotter , the flesh is falling off my bones due to the heat and stuff, should i go to the doctor? also on a side note im having these problems with this girl, and i need to pick out a car.....'

ROFL!
Dude, you measure the distance to mars in miles or kilometers, not light years

Another quote from his post:
