The estimated lifespan of the outer solar system has been downgraded from 100 billion years to just a few billion years, according to a study that probed “terminal instability” during the Sun’s death.

    No way! The Universe will one day not exist anymore? That’s sick bro, you should tell some astrophysicists, they’d be shocked!

    Am I just stupid? They reference this study then go into the origins of life on earth and completely ignore mentioning the study again. What the fuck is this article?

    Ah, I see it now. What a surprise, absolutely nothing has changed besides what we think will happen when the sun collapses into a white dwarf.

    Sensational clickbait trash.

    I mean when you make it as arbitrary as possible. The universe is terminally unstable and will be completely destroyed. Bit of a nonsensical headline without timelines.

        People are acting like it’s not a problem, but if we have just one more downgrade of that magnitude, we’ll be in big trouble

          Yeah, at that magnitude loss one more and we’d only have tens of millions of years left.
