[In reference to an article predicting how Earth will eventually be vaporized by the sun in 7.6 billion years]

What a load of duck cheese! They sure are going to be surprised aren't they.... me thinks God is going to throw a big wrench called the rapture right into their discovery

light4mypath....I know you can't wait for lots of people to die except yourself and your ilk and stuff but your gloating and hoping for death and destruction really is disturbing. The crapture will be because of the federal reserve is destroying our currency by printing it like mad men to bail out bankrupt banks who have destroyed our economy with insane mortgage dealings. Buy gold or silver folks if you can or persuade your parents to. Its mother earth's real money (inelastic supply versus endless fiat currency printing) used since Jesus's time and before, all the way back to egyptian times. Its not fiat paper money made by false promises of greedy and lying men who love these fundies because they are so stupid and hateful. When our economy hits the crapture fan, with gold or silver, you will be raptured somewhat than most from financial ruination though it will still be hard to cope.
All the fundy preachers will start telling their flock of insane birds that it was us satan worshipers or something to that effect that caused it all and it is time to destroy us. Then bring out the precious metal called lead and the 'rapture' will be a short-lived event and peace will follow. We can then return to a fixed exchange rate with trade and to a gold standard. Nixon took us off the gold standard so he could have more money printed up than a gold standard would allow to fund the escalation of the vietnam war.

The sun's too small to go supernova. In 5 billion years, it'll be more like this:

* The sun will be about 10 billion years old. At that age, half the hydrogen in the core will have been has been fused into helium.
* With that much helium clogging things up in the core, it can no longer sustain a hydrogen fusion reaction. Energy production in the core shuts down.
* With no radiation pressure holding it up, the material immediately surrounding the core starts to collapse under its own weight.
* The infalling material gets hotter and more pressurized, to the point that IT starts to undergo hydrogen fusion. This is called a "hydrogen-burning shell."
* The hydrogen-burning shell has a much larger outer surface area than the old, dead core did. Thus, it radiates the energy it produces a lot more rapidly than the core did.
* All that extra radiation pressure will cause the outer layers of the sun to start expanding.
* Over the course of some tens of thousands of years, the sun will expand from its previous (main-sequence) size to hundreds of millions of kilometers in diameter, big enough to swallow the Earth. At such a large size, those outer layers will be cooler than they were during the main sequence, though. Thus, we say that the sun will be a "Red Giant."
* After a few million years as a red giant, the hydrogen-burning shell will also become exhausted. The sun may briefly fuse helium into carbon in its core, but this won't last very long. At last, the outer layers of the sun will be slowly blasted into space, forming a "planetary nebula" (so named for its resemblance to a planet when seen in a weak telescope).
* All that will be left where the sun once stood will be an Earth-sized, hot, super-dense ember called a "white dwarf".
* And then the Rapture will come and the dead in Christ will rise first, and trumpets will play, and everybody except the non-Fundamentalists will live happily ever after.
