Yeah pretty much, though making the planet uninhabitable is actually possible to do with enough guts and hard work.
Sol is also the Swedish (and if I’m not mistaken, Norweigian and Danish) word for “sun”.
Yeah, but whoever tried that would probably end up dying themselves long before they could get rid of all the bacteria that will eventually evolve into new lifeforms capable of surviving on whatever grows from the spoils that are left when the Bond villain is dead.
And the coakroaches, of course. Coakroaches survive anything. Even nukes in “stone, paper, scissors EXTREME”.
Well, not just the cockroaches. pretty much, the insects will always survive. As long as there is any source of food for them, and stuff. Especially Twinkies.
There was a missing poll option, fixed now.
Consider it my way of saying ‘Nothing I can do about it, so why worry about it?’
Can’t elieve no one’s mentioned the LHC so far. I don’t believe it’ll end the world, but some guys do.
Corrected.
Oh yeah, the “Hard On” collider. I almost forgot about this potential Black Hole creator; we even had a thread about this not too long ago. If everything goes according to plan, the first attempt to circulate a beam is scheduled on September 10. I don’t believe in the Doomsday scenario either, but…
Your poll sucks. Where’s the OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAND! option?
Even if that overblown pressure cooker DOES wipe us out, it’ll probably be so fast we won’t even notice until we are dead. So, why worry? 
i’m still waiting for 3rd impact. >3>
Well, the sun should last another 5 billion years or so before another supernova accurs . . . that will of course be the end of the earth and the birth of new planets and such. No, that isn’t to say that the idiocy of the world, humans, won’t kill eachother off first (which i’m sure they will) and possibly wreck the world for quite some time. But the world won’t be destroyed before then unless we get some kine of bombardment of meteors and haleys comet decides it would like to hit us lol.
The sun can’t go supernova. The sun hasn’t gone supernova in the past. Once a star goes supernova, it can’t again. It’s DEAD.
The sun will eventually turn into a red giant. In the red giant phase, the outer edge is believed to extend close to Earth’s orbit, enveloping Mercury and Venus. Eventually that outer edge will break free and all that will be left is a carbon core that will cool down over time. A white dwarf.
The 984 certainly has a white dwarf
Actually a supernova is possible . . . but nevermind that.
I think he was referring to the fact you said ‘Another Supernova’ and that a sun only goes Nova once.
Once tends to be enough anyway.
It would certainly seem so! Surely the grandest of explosions.
Nope. Supernova still isn’t possible for Sol. Its white dwarf will be about 0.6 solar masses. In order for a white dwarf to go type 1 supernova, it has to be around 1.4 solar masses.
Damn, didn’t know there was a mass requirement for a sun to go with a bang.
Not like we’d have been around to see it, at the rate we’re going with resources.
Still if it’s anything like my old Chevy Nova I’ll light up the night sky!
Ehem At any rate it’s very unlikely that humanity will be wiped out by Global Warming since we’ll have most likely wiped ourselves out long before then from the Toxins and Pollution that we keep dumping into our environment (unless Captain Planet could save us somehow).
