...is inevitable. No matter what anyone says, the Earth will one day end. It is scientific fact. In about 4.5 billion years, the Sun's life will end. The Sun will become a Red Giant and soon after it will explode; thus completely obliterating the Earth.

Earth could be transited outside of the damage zone of the star before this occurs.

I sort of understand what you are saying, but can you describe how this would be possible?

I couldn't care less. I won't be alive when it happens, and surely not after it happens. If the world ends, I will be prepared for whatever fate that the afterlife brings me.

That, or at least the people on Earth. We're already trying to dominate space. I figure we'll be long gone by either expansion or destruction by our own hands before the sun gets close to hitting. Even so, you are right. I saw a program on the History Channel that outlines a ton of ways the Earth could go down. Collision with the sun was the final and most distant.

Well, we have 4 and a half billion years to suss out how to do it. I'm sure the technology would be available to do this. The question is, will the planet be worth saving when the time comes?

In 4.5 billion years humanity as we know it will be far far beyond Earth. Consider this our starting point. The only reason to save this planet would be out of pure nostalgia - of which most descendants of humanity wouldn't really harbor anyway.

When the sun burns out we will all freeze to death anyways, the change will probably be so sudden that homo sapiens won't feel it. We don't have to worry about the sun exploding because we will already be dead.

Assuming tens of millions of years of technological advancement alone, the description might as well be "sorcery."

Who knows maybe by then if humans are some how still around we'll have developed incredible science fiction esq energy generation and shielding technology, and earth will be just fine.

Though admittedly, its a lot more likely the earth will indeed simply end.
