Well. I suppose that means bad news for the GOP during the 200,000,008 election. And what's the use in taking vitamins if we're thus doomed?

We are likely to escape being swallowed at that point, because the sun will have shed some of its mass, weakening its gravitational grip, so we will be orbiting somewhat farther out than today. Then after a few hundred million years, during which the sun will have briefly shrunk to a more sensible size, it will become a giant again, this time growing larger still.

If "billions and billions of years ago," the sun was a much bigger star with more mass, why didn't Earth get pulled into the sun then? You may insert any AlGore=Planet or Michael Moore jokes here.

I don't ping the list to threads that are sacreligious or tacky or seem likely to become so.

The question to ask is "Why didn't the sun get pulled into Michael Moore?

Is there perhaps some kind of way that Algore neutralizes Moore, thus keeping the sun in its place?

Or is it a triangulation with Obama's ego?

this statement was not in any of the articles linked. the sun's mass was not significantly different in the past

Hey, nobody claimed that it makes sense. Here, have a Corona...

LOL!

I heard about this on Rush yesterday.
My reaction was pretty much the same as his.

I’m not giving up my vitamins just yet, though. ;o)
