Umm ... so we’re all going to die in maybe a billion years?
I know I can’t put that on the calendar, not sure about my phone that could take some time scrolling ahead.
Maybe I should check the weather forecast for that day or send an early birthday present to one of my progeny in the next billion years. Think I’ll ship it book rate as there’s no real rush and I’ll save some money.
Just FYI - when the our Sun goes with a major CME you’ve got like 10 minutes and it won’t hit the news before the Earth is gone. You should probably make sure your living will is up to date. Maybe water the plants too.

“Umm ... so we’re all going to die in maybe a billion years?”
Well, I’ll probably be dead in maybe 20 years or so if I’m lucky since I’m now 75 and in pretty good health. But If we don’t nuke ourselves, I’m pretty sure that within a billion years we will have conquered a moon of Saturn or Jupiter or maybe even a planet in another solar system. A CME has not extinguished life on Earth yet, I don’t expect it will either.
So that leaves 20% that is not sterile. 20% of billions of stars and billions and billions of planets is quite a bit.
