Am I just stupid? They reference this study then go into the origins of life on earth and completely ignore mentioning the study again. What the fuck is this article?
Ah, I see it now. What a surprise, absolutely nothing has changed besides what we think will happen when the sun collapses into a white dwarf.
Sensational clickbait trash.
Yeah wtf. I had the same experience as you. Shitty article on shitty site apparently.
Still a few billion years? We’ll turn it into a junkyard way before then.
Humans are terminally unstable and will die within an average of 73 years. More at 11.
Our sun is expected to become a red giant in 5 billion years, so that should help.
It’s like my doctors say about various chronic conditions I have: “Don’t worry, something else will get you before this becomes a major problem.”
No way! The Universe will one day not exist anymore? That’s sick bro, you should tell some astrophysicists, they’d be shocked!
Even if it was balanced wouldn’t the orbits of the planets eventually decay anyways?
Oh yeah, everything will succumb to entropy one way or another
Finally some good news.
The Buddhist belief that nothing lasts forever has gained even more supporting evidence.
Finally some good news.
Finally some good news
But all my stuff is there!
What about your wife and kid? (TFS reference)
Not soon enough, unfortunately.
We’re all going to die!
There goes my dream of living 100 billion years…
Not under this sun at least
You know, I think you’re right to call out my pessimism. Perhaps I should look into being shot into being shot into outer space in a cryogenically sealed coffin so I can spend 100 billion years circulating the galaxy without worrying about such things.
Obviously though? Like that’s entropy, it’s fundamentally built in.
