Sounds like you have had a very interesting career. Congrats on that.
From my limited geological knowledge I presume the earth started off a a molten ball of elements that have partially solidified into what she is today. There have been many heinous things done to her throughout her life and in the end she will end up a big ball of fire as our sun expires. Our impact - both beautiful and ugly alike - on her will be forgotten. Somewhere in that leftover pile of rock will be whatever is leftover from you and I - probably just specks of dust - and likely pals for eternity.
- doodlebugging 5y agoYessir. If we're really lucky there will be enough energy in that supernova so that we can both be blasted far enough and fast enough for both us specks to catch up to and hitch a ride with Oumuamua as it glides through the universe. Dust speck pals on a cosmic dust bunny, heading for some far-off celestial corner where we can rest, safe from the vacuum of space, watching the worlds go by. Certainly a long, strange trip it will be. Happy trails! With that in mind, maybe on that journey all of our specks will find useful combinations of interstellar particulates and elements and will become the building blocks of new life somewhere else. While the whole fiery ending here on earth may be a low spot for us collectively, you have to remember that every local minima is by definition the point after which things start looking up as the next cycle begins.
