prediction: Earth will be absorbed by the Sun in about 7.5 billion years

[Raymone]

After the Sun has entered the red giant phase and expanded to cross Earth's current orbit. But life on Earth will be extinct/exited by then.

[Smoke117]

The earth will have been destroyed by humanity well before then.

Pessimistic ass nikkas in here. My theory: Humans will be traveling the galaxy by then :rockon:

[Akrazotile]

I disagree.

I believe some event or other will have jarred earth loose from its current orbit before then.

OP is wrong, per usual.

[Random_Guy]

okay

[rezznor]

thanks obama!

Our galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy 3.5 billion years before your prediction.

Correction: mankind will have destroyed his ability to live on earth by then. The planet itself will be fine, it has survived far worse than pissant humans.

Doubt humans will even exist in our current form or at all in a couple million years
Homo sapiens have existed for about 200k years.

Yeah we all know it'll happen ONE DAY. It shouldn't really matter though because every one of us will be gone by then :lol

[bigkingsfan]

I'll bump this if it happens.

We probably wont even reach 1 million years. This idea that we will reach a billion years is crazy

Nah, we could very well have a good 500 million years remaining on this planet. The planet is estimated to be able to continue to support life for another 500 million years from now, although some estimate up to 2 billion which probably isn't happening. But it's that 500 million mark where solar radiation from the sun's increased luminosity is going to really suck, our oceans will begin to disappear, CO2/N levels will get all messed up, etc. That's when we'll have to either leave or die off.

But the planet itself is far more resilient than the life it hosts. Earth will go on for another 7 billion years or so as the Sun gets bigger and hotter.

It's that 10 byr mark that will cause some problems for the planet.
