Do you think the Human race will be able to survive the death of our sun?
-
assuming nothing destroys us before that - we have five billion years to prepare, but do you think we will be able to survive? What do you think scientists would do if there was no hope for any human survival?

Answer:
I F mankind will indeed survice that long to experience the Sun's death, then there will also be enough spacecrafts capable of such high energy forces (and speed way faster than only 10 or 20 times the light) that we will make event trips to other stars watching their transmission into novae or even supernovae ... so we will make such "event-trips" to our very own suin, too, for mankind will already live at many other places in the galaxy, too.

No, I think we will wait until its too late to do anything about it and then try to slap something together, and it won't quite work.

Think about what we have accomplished in the last 100 years my bet is that if your ruling out all other possibilitys before that we would likely survive via migrating to another planet or one of the moons of jupiter that have been found to possibly be habitable. Scientists are already trying to solve this problem now so by the time it becomes a ligitamte concern i think theyll have already many solid ideas. If there was no hope of human survival i bet that they would lie to us and not inform us we where about to die. However in 5 billion years youd hope they would find a less painful way to deal with it. As i espeshally dont want to be boiled alive from the inside out.

The human race is not even able to survive the human race. My answer is no.

Absolutely not, we will be long gone before that happens.

No, we will not survive the death of our sun. From what I understand, when our sun dies, it will expand well past our current orbit. It doesn't sound very promising.

No. As a star dies, it expands. When the sun does that, it will probably consume all of the planets up to Jupiter. We couldn't survive that in any way. Pretty cool, huh? ; D

No. There are two possible scenarios for your question. The first is a natural death of the sun five billion years from now. The second is a hypotheical "It dissapears tomorrow". Neither are possible to survive, and here's why. Evolution is the gradual change of organisms to better adapt to an environment. In the 3. 5 billion years, we have changed from gooey Ribose chains aimlessly basking in the sun, to a plethora of unique and individual Kingdoms of life, each with myraids of Orders, Families, and Species. Life has changed drastically since then. In five billion years, so about one and a half times longer, it is illogical to conclude there will even be a human species. We are the Prokaryotic ribose chains compared to the fantastic creatures that life will present five billion years from now. dealing with that problem. No humans, no problem. Also, any lifeform present, regardless of organic complexity, will have trouble withstanding the lethal dosages of Toxic Radiation and searing heat of a "Nuclearly" constipated Red Giant star. In the second scenario, if the sun magically disappeared tomorrow, we wouldn't survive that either. The sun is the basic unit of energy for everything in the Solar system. If the sun dissapeared, the Food cycle false apart. Plants can't make starches or sugars any more, Herbivores can't ingest plants, Carnivores can't find any Herbivores, and Detrivores eventually run out of dead stuff to eat. Theoretically, the only hope of life would be extremophiles and lithotrophes living deep down in Earth's crust. But even they would only have a few months before complete annihilation. Don't wait for either scenario. They both suck.

We would face the sun head to head and meet our deaths... head on. BUT lets get some hope. we could build space stations, and find a renewalable source of energy in space, meet friendly aliens and they share there ultimate technology (hopefully the humans in the future won't be so greedy and start a war with these aliens) and we survive in this new planet, OR find a fuel to feed the sun to stop it from exploding, we got 5 billions years left, and it is going down every second, besides might not even be 5 billion years might be tommorow we die... we just got to be prepaired, and hope I just hope I am dead before anything happens... to answer your question, there is hope for humankind... we just got to be smart enough!

Sure, we survive star deaths all the time. They happen in our galaxy often. There are over 100 planetary nebulae visible in our sky. Those are the remains of stars like ours that have exhausted their hydrogen. The trick to surviving is to be somewhere else. So, we need to develop interstellar travel before the sun runs out of fuel. If the whole population could not be saved, scientists would probably send a small population into space to establish a colony.
