After 1 billion years of technological evolution they can't just teleport the earth somewhere or drag it themselves? Lazy bastards.
They are working on the drag thing.. no kidding.iNeedUrFace4Soup wrote:

The point of the article is that, all things being equal, the sun will swallow the Earth in 7.6 billion years. Not that we will still be alive/the same/able to stop this happening.
Heh... We won't last that long.

Even if they did that I heard on Nat Geo or something that the planet is dying slowly from the inside. Something about the liquid core drying up or something.Kmarion wrote:

Keyboards. People who have four fingers are generally found less atractive than people with five aswell.FallenMorgan wrote:
humans may evolve four fingers, because the little finger largely has little use.
Intelligence is what makes one survive in todays world and most likely in the future, so I'm pretty sure that most of our evolution will be in the brain.
The point is never presume to know where we will be hundreds of thousands of years from now. Humans have made that mistake too often. We can of course make educated guesses. But don't commit our fate to the unknown. I could give you at least 5 other cosmic fates more likely before then.Ajax_the_Great1 wrote:

Side note: Betelgeuse could go at anytime (It might have already). Pay attention to Orion, we are a safe distance away but that will be a very cool light show, visible even in the daylight. .
Even so, Betelgeuse would brighten at least 10,000 times as a supernova, causing it to shine with the luminosity of a crescent Moon. Some sources predict a maximum apparent magnitude equal to about that of the full Moon (mv = -12.5). This would likely last for several months. It would look like a brilliant point, the brightness of a full Moon with the color of an incandescent bulb at night, and easily visible in daylight. After that period it would gradually diminish until after some months or years it would disappear from naked eye view. Then Orion's right shoulder would vanish for a time until, in a few centuries, a splendid nebula would develop. However, if Betelgeuse's axis (one of its poles) is pointed towards Earth there would be tangible effects here. A shower of gamma rays and other cosmic particles would be directed at Earth. There would be spectacular aurorae and possibly a measurable diminution of the ozone layer with consequent adverse radiation effects on life. In such an orientation towards the solar system it would also appear many times brighter than if its axis were pointed away.

Here's an interesting site......especially the pole shifting business, but as i always say "I'll believe it when i see it"

My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.
Guys... one billion years.
One billion years.
Put this in perspective. One billion years ago the first fungi were just starting to appear on land.

That's just when their calender ended, they didn't predict the end of the world, they just stopped the calender there because they didn't see the need to go out to year 102931024701
lol.. it makes for interesting convo. I don't think anyone is truly fretting this. Like I said I could give you at least 5 other cosmic fates more likely before then.Spark wrote:

And besides, if they couldn't even fight off some Spaniards who decided to find out what's on the other side. What can they do.CommieChipmunk wrote:

There is some website that says everything is going to go tits up when we hit 10000 AD. They have the date set on their website as 02008. Lawl.
Hope I'm not around to see this......erm!
Except that the core of the earth will stop spinning long before that, 4000 years or so, and our atmosphere dissolves because we have no magnetism and we all burn to death. Wishful thinking though.
huh? 4000 years?GorillaKing798 wrote:

egads, i hope we have a planetary shield up by then
