*pulls covers tighter over head*

Somebody say something like "No this won't happen because..[insert reason]" SOMEBODY!!

I knew pollution wasn't the cause of global warming! Thank God, it's ONLY caused by the sun getting ready to blow up and destroy the solar system

Scary..

Well, i got pretty fast hearbeat after reading this, but if you actually know your stuff, the truth is this...

First, this article was published on the "Gossip" section, and not on a real news sections, this is very similar to the bugos stuff on shortnews.

Second, if you know your stuff, you'll know that a sun/star/big firery thing in space only explodes or anything like that after a severall thousand year process, it is impossible for a sun to explode from just a small surface actiivty, it probably happended all the time before we had telescopes. And virtually all of the books all say that the sun is 2/3 of its life-span, so we've got a few more billion years left, but by then the human race will either be extinct or have evactuated the earth (or be capable of it) or have attached a massive rocket engine to it to blast it out of the blast radius.

One thing that keeps be going whenever i hear news like this, is that i ask myself "why is all this happening NOW?, why now? why not 7,000 years ago or 5,000 years in the future, why ALL of this now" so then i make up an explination that makes be calm down a bit, man ig et shaky after reading #e like that... heh heh

Well they're only a few billion years off, no biggy. 6 years..6 billion years..meh what's the difference!

Well i'm surprised to see so few responces here.

Its a spoof.
do a google search on the guys name and urban ledgends.

Yahoo picked it up thinking it was real.

I officially stamp this X-File:

CASE CLOSED

who cares, we'll all die sooner or later, no big deal

actually before exploding the sun would expand into a red supergiant or giant, and would "absorb" all the inner planets because it would expand, then it would shrink down to the size of a few atoms, explode and most likely go supernovae, nothing more

Our sun is too small to create a supernova

Hey Necro99, in your " to do " list or " to have " list, I didn't see this :

- To have a better IQ.
- To be a little bit more smart.
- To have sex minimum one time before I die.

I already have the two things

everyone here is aware that Stars generally get *cooler* as they age, yes ?
