Earth survives suns end

They're Blinding Us With Science



The people at the liquor store are always asking ... "Hey Rodge, even as august a publication as NewScientist.com says that man made global warming will doom us, so how can you attack Al Gore?  I mean he is a Nobel Laureate.?"

That's why they're called "New Science," dickweed.  Consider.


Chance of Earth surviving Sun's death ruled out

EARTH'S future looks bright - but not in the way you might hope. The slim chance our planet will survive when the sun begins its death throes has been ruled out.

In about seven billion years, the sun will fuse the last of its hydrogen into helium and expand into a red giant 250 times its current size. At first, the sun's loss of mass as it sheds its outer layers will loosen its gravitational pull on Earth, which will allow the planet to migrate to a wider orbit. This process has led some researchers to speculate that the Earth might escape destruction - but survival now seems impossible, says Peter Schröder of the University of Guanajuato in Mexico and Robert Smith of the University of Sussex in the UK.

Could they be more ridiculous?  Yes.

Oh...my,my. It's not the OSx, it's the promiscuity that greets sex like yesteryear's handshake. But then, that's not the story the article wants to address. Sheesh..

Rodge,
I think its great that you talk to the people at the liquor store. I was always taught to pretend like I didn't know them.

Always heartened when a "scientist" postulates a provable thesis.

Why would you heed warnings from a group of scientists who can't even read a calendar correctly?

Today I'm the proud papa of a new leapling (and as du Toit says "the Son & Heir)! Care for a virtual cigar?
