Nice try sunny, but we’re on track to offing ourselves way before that.

But ironically, the main way we’re trying is by ruining our planet’s ability to protect us from the Sun.
…other than nuclear war.
OpenStars@discuss.online 11 months ago
Which is odd bc chemistry does not work that way - probably a consequence of calling it “global warming” in bygone eras.

Joke’s on you, sun, we’ll make this planet inhospitable long before you can get us!

Well, the Sun’s going to be the thing making it inhospitable, just not due to “dying”

Not if we kill ourselves first!

The first time I learned about this as a wee lad, I was genuinely Concerned

Remembers me of where my sis told me as a child that “the sun will explode” and we got staring at it with those cardboard glasses. It didn’t and i was disapointed. Learned later that it was meant to be sun coronae.

It giveth and it taketh. Honestly pretty fair, I think we get a good deal here.

Joke's on you, Sun. We can just leave. Or maybe even fix you.
(So many doomer "we'll kill ourselves first" responses in this thread. How science of everyone.)

We can just dump some comet ice into the oceans and cool Earth off. And if it gets really bad, we’ll just get all the robots on one side of the earth and hit the gas at the right moment, thus increasing the distance from the sun.

How science of everyone
For 50 years, science has been telling us that we’re well and truly fucked if we don’t do something about climate change. We didn’t. I don’t think the species is gonna die out (thought millions of other species will and are). You’re talking like we’re gonna be building a Dyson sphere (or swarm) in the next 20 years? Or colonize outer planets? It’s science fiction…at least for next few 100 years. We can’t rely on a deus ex machina save…we gotta take care of the planet we evolved to live on…if we aren’t strong enough for that, I don’t think we’re getting anywhere near K-II.

Hardly. We have plenty of time for that, there's no rush.
Or colonize outer planets? It's science fiction...at least for next few 100 years.
Again, a few hundred years is nothing. The sun won't become problematic for a few hundred million years.
We can't rely on a deus ex machina save.
Things like Dyson swarms and star lifting are not "deus ex machina", they're scientifically rigorous proposals.
if we aren't strong enough for that, I don't think we're getting anywhere near K-II.
Getting to K-II means not needing the planet we evolved to live on.

We’ll have a Dyson Sphere that’s able to retrieve all of the energy of the supernova. So we can mine some crypto.

Even if we don’t cause our own extinction, the sun is getting hotter as it ages and in approximately 1 billion years it will have gotten hot enough to render Earth uninhabitable for life as we know it.
Then, 3-4 billion years after that, it’ll finish the job by most likely swallowing up 3 of the inner planets when it reaches the red giant phase of its life. Even the corpse of Earth will die.

I completely concur, I have been consistent with my profit regardless of the market conditions, I got into the market early 2019 and the constant downtrends and losses discouraged me so I sold off, got back in Dec 2020 this time with guidance from an investment adviser that was recommended by a popular economist on a popular forum, long story short, its been years now and l’ve gained over $850k following guidance from my investment adviser.

We’ll be gone a long time before that.
A bitchy trampoline might invite some ultra wealthy aliens to watch it burn, though.
