That pre-supposes that we are going to manage to get off this rock before the sun goes into its end-of-life cycle --- only 5 billion years or so worth of hydrogen before it become a red dwarf.
- slashdev 3y agoI don’t think we’ll still be here to worry about that.
- chii 3y agomay be you personally won't, but i would hope that some descendant of some humans today would survive to that time period.
- slashdev 3y agoIn five billion years, which is longer than life has existed on earth, if anything remains of humans, it will be wholly unrecognizable. I’m speaking not just of our natural biological evolution, or what will happen when we take control of that through technology, but of what we accomplish with our technology itself. Human like animals with human like concerns won’t be around to see that.
