The funny and sad thing I think is we think suicide is a horrible evil thing and when you look at alot of the things that we are doing to each other and the world we life in when the "big bang" does some it will be nothing more then a mass suicide on our part.

I look at the balances we share one shift in the current and we will end up in another iceage, one push of a button after a series of codes are incerted and the turing of a key and the world is a waste land. I think more then that with all of the single acts of violence in the world we are losing such more we lost what it means to be humain.

But I could be totally off the mark.

But about the sun dont you think by the time the "Big Crush" happens that the sun would have allready swallowed the earth and planets and many after earth.In my mind the only safe place till the "Big Crush" would be pluto and that if not swallowed would proble have the intense heat of venus on the bright side and the intence freezing of its noy aday heat.And in fact if there was some way that we did make it to pluto and it was not destroyed we would not beable to survive on it for very long due to the nature of humans ruining every thing we come in contact with so in every way possible to me we are the "Bad Aliens".

Good point. The sun will supernova and wipe out life in the the solar system long before the "big crunch."

I surmise that our collective cognitive space (electronic remnants) will be embedded in silicon long before that event and "we" will survive as electronic remnants in other solar systems long before the supernova.

Even if another "life supporting" plant is not found, it will not matter much because robots will build, on other planets, an environment suitable for our electronic remants to "exist."

Actually, our Sun cannot supernova. It is too small for that. (cite)

However, if you would like something to worry about, how about Eta Carinae. It could hypernova in our lifetime. Since it is only 8,000 light years away, the resulting gamma ray burst would completely sterilize the Earth. Or to look at it another way, because of the distance, it may have already gone hypernova and we are just waiting for the GRB to arrive. Smilie

our sun is not too small any star can either super nova or become a black hole which they are the oposties of each other it just depends on the conditions of the star acroding to study our would be come a super nova
