Scientists Predict When World Will End

Scientist have nailed down how and when the Earth will cease to exist.

The sun will slowly expand into a red giant, pushing the Earth farther out into space, but not far enough.

Our home planet will be snagged by the sun's outer atmosphere, gradually plunging to its doom inside the fiery stellar furnace.

"The drag caused by this low-density gas is enough to cause the Earth to drift inwards, and finally to be captured and vaporized by the sun," explains astronomer Robert Smith of the University of Sussex in southern England.

Previous projections had all figured that the Earth would avoid falling into the sun, even during our star's red-giant phase.

The good news: This won't happen for another 7.6 billion years.

The bad news: Life on Earth will end long before then.

In fact, we've only got a billion years left before the slowly expanding sun boils off the oceans and reduces our planet to an uninhabitable cinder, says Smith.

Maybe algore and his carbon taxes can still save us!!!!!!!!   :whatever:

Well, I doubt humanity will even exist in 1 billion years (unless we happen to evolve into a Q state before then), so I'm not to concerned.

For sure, I was planning on leaving my husband in a little less than a billion years and running off with you.   :bawl:

Of course, when this happens minorities and women will be hurt the worst.

Um...  I saw this predicted on 3-2-1 Contact in the early 80s, so how is this new information?
