Sun Burst
Sun Burst

Eventually we as humans will have to leave earth due to the fact the sun will burst.?
Now i know this will happen a long long long long time in the future. Do you think we will ever figure out how to get to another planet with superior light fast space shuttles. We simply can’t go to Mars either because the explosion will be to wide.
Well, the sun won’t burst, it will EXPAND in about 4 billion years and just keep getting bigger. The sun will begin it’s red giant phase, created when the Sun no longer has enough hydrogen to fuse into helium (basically runs out of fuel).
So, given the time from now until then, it’s probably safe to say that humans will be long gone before we have the capability to move so quickly through space. We’re working on it though. There’s an idea floating around to produce energy from anti-matter to create propulsion. This will greatly enhance the speed in which we travel though space, but it won’t make a dramatic difference; such as, going light speed.
I’ve included a link from one of our fellow YA! people explaining the anti-matter propulsion.
