THE SUN WILL DESTROY THE EARTH IN 3.5 MILLION YEARS!!!!

come here in winter, if you live in bayou counrty, you'll be...shocked

i went to montana one year for new years and my noses hairs froze immediately upon leaving the airport, a most disagreeable feeling to someone who is used to 90 degree weather...
 
Actually it will end into a "neutron star"(?) according to what I read...
Sorry, dude. It has to be big enough to go supernova to have enough mass to collapse that far. [science geek] Actually, if anyone cares, the Chandrasekhar limit is the minimum mass left after a supernova (which can blow away up to 80% or so of a star's mass) that will still allow it to collapse that far. About 1.4 times the current mass of the sun.[/science geek] :D

Edit: yeah, large mouth bass. :lol:

Sorry, Inky, the sun can't go supernova, it's well below the Chandrasekhar limit. It'll just expand till it eats most of the planets, then shrink to a white dwarf.

Slight precision - the Chandrasekhar limit is the mass limit for a star to become a White Dwarf, not for it to supernova. A white dwarf can in fact still supernova if it can drag in enough material from somewhere..

our sun is insignificant compared to other stars

Not really, our sun is an average-to-medium-large star, only about 10% of stars ever go to Neutron star or black dwarf stage.. eventually about 60% of the matter of the universe will end up in a white dwarf so we're not exactly alone.. ;)
 
Incidentally, for anyone who cares a black hole with the mass of the earth would measure about two-fifths of a millimetre in diameter... I probably would have guessed a lot smaller... :shrug:

True but usually even the smallest, known, ones are astronomically bigger than our earth.

Hell i am waiting for positronian era to come....according to that era our known history of universe will be less than a second long.
