Thistledoo Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I was watching some logs burning in a fire and being consumed. I got round to thinking that our sun was being consumed too and so we are DOOMED! But how long will the sun last? http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_long_will_the_sun_last We have lots of longevity in our family so I am beginning to get a little concerned.

The sun is doomed of course, but we most likely aren't (due to that anyway, I mean). If it lasts 116 years more, it will likely outlive every single person on earth right now. All 7 billion of us.

Happ Hazzard Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 It will last for many millions more years, far longer than the human race I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_g Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 After the Leveson Report - I reckon that it won't be long before The Sun is no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
