Anyway a new Baktun starts. Some folks just don't do their research and will
believe anything but what is true. Facts, who needs them? Hmm sound a bit like
certain law cases.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Not quite, as the sun gets older it is actually burning
hotter, we die in a few 10's of million's of years I believe
(I might have the number wrong) as the Earth get's to hot for
liquid water. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The world as we know it is far more likely to be destroyed by an ELE asteroid
long before the Sun burns out. While the odds of a single ELE asteroid striking
the planet in any given year is extremely small, the probability of one of the
many many thousands or millions of them out there striking the planet in the
next 10 million years is probably 1 (meaning it will happen).
But I haven't attempted to do all the math involved to give precise figures, and
given we don't know where they all are, it would be a fruitless task. Still it's
safe to say that at least one will strike in the next 100 or even 200 million
years. Unless, of course, we've designed a system to detect and destroy the
inevitable collisions, by then.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
