I'll let you know asap.
The end of the world is nigh...or is it?

It won't shrink, not before it expands anyway.
So it will shrink, but not before it's expanded, it expands for a long time too. It will be during this expansion when the earth will be evaporated.
And by your question, what do you mean? What will happen to us? I doubt we'll be able to live on another planet, certainly can't do it in our Solar System, there are probably other planets out there where we could theoretically live, but think of how long it would take to get there! You'd need several hundreds of generations to reach it, how would you get our species up there with enough variety in the gene pool to keep it healthy?

The technology once the sun shrinks and pretty much dissloves will be amazing and we might be able to make our own sun.
Assuming the human race still exists in a few billion years. To make our own Sun, would need a tremendous amount of Hydrogen, how would you get that, CDM? 75% of the Sun is Hydrogen, the Sun is about 1 million times the size of Earth, how would you get that much Hydrogen?
If you weren't to use Hydrogen, how would you get enough of any fuel to power something as big as the sun?

Well I think they could make Hyrdogen by somehow using something similar to that of cloning.
You'll have to explain that one CDM.

You wouldn't need something as big as the sun, something much smaller and closer would suffice. I dare say when we crack nuclear fusion we could provide enough energy here on earth.
And you wouldn't need hundreds of generations to reach a far planet. Cryogenics or some other form of stasis would be adequate. A long time off, though.

He's a texan.

CDM is now a professor?
I do expect by the time the sun expands (if we are still here) we will have got the technology to go to a new world in a different galaxy. If not our off-spring must be pretty stupid (too much breeding by Aussies
)

The power required to get to another planet is out of our hands right now. Sure we can get a robot to visit Mars but that just seems to float and land on Mars by chance.
It would be pretty risky sending someone out there cause its a really long distance.
And who's to say that couldv'e been staged to make us believe we can get there.
Anyway if we were going to live on Mars it would be underground because its damn hot during the day and freezing cold at night. But it will be a long time before anyone lands on Mars.
Ha, I remember reading a science book when I was in primary school and predictions were that we would be colonizing Mars in 2000 lol

"float and land on Mars by chance?"
The people who spent years calculating the trajectory of the craft needed, the precision of the parachutes, etc are spinning in their chairs!
We use the sun for more than just heat, what about our gravity? Or shall we just attach ourselves to strings and hope the atmosphere doesn't float away? You'd never be able to produce enough energy to keep the Earth at the same heat as it is now, if the Sun didn't exist. But then it's pointless anyway, the stage of the sun dying involves it engulfing the Earth, so we wouldn't have a planet to heat.

Yeah it would just blow up. We can't make another sun though. And even thinking about it, nature created it over 5 billion years ago and how long did it take for the sun to naturally form or was it always there?
