Dying star offers glimpse of our sun's future What an absurd waste of time thread!
I won't even read it.
Billions of years from now?
At this point, what possible difference does it make?
We have more immediate and meaningful problems to deal with.

We don’t know if the Sun will stay stable 5 billion years or 5 more seconds.It will never take less than 8 seconds. Guaranteed!
That's how long its light takes to get to us.
We would never know what hit us.
That's why it is not even on my long list of things to waste time about.

(Actually, I feel that as soon as someone figures out how to make money off of space travel, the exodus will begin and, even if we have to use generation ships, we’ll get off Earth)Finally, a ray of hope!
What a novel way to get rid of all the crony capitalists! They'll be only ones who could afford it.
And personally, I don't give a rat's elbow where those ships end up...

Apologies.
