" That is how all stars end their life. It will still remain hot enough to fry planet earth."

A centimeter? Concerning bodies as big as the sun and Earth? With the earth in an eliptical orbit?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. They are going to need to show me their work. They can’t just make the claim.

I’ve learned that in modern times we know a lot more than we did in the past and many of the things we knew in the past has been discovered to be dead wrong. Thing is, the past used to be “modern times”. So I see science of today from the lens of a thousand years from now. I see it as wanting and I don’t fully trust it.

“Oh, no! We’re all gonna die!”
“Relax, five billion years is a long time.”
“Billion? Whew. I thought you said MILLION.”
